Maxwell Wintrobe, MD on Rounds With Residents

Maxwell Wintrobe MD with Residents - The rigor of early education at the medical school bore the stamp of Dr. Wintrobe, who suggested to faculty in 1946 that misspelling and illegibility on tests should be counted against students, that all exams should be written in ink and that medical students should pay more attention to their dress during school hours. He also demanded more than book smarts from his students. "A good doctor needs to be more than a mechanic," he said. "He has to know something about the world and about people."
