虽然在过去的几十年里有很多关于医学教育史的文章，但很少有人关注医学博物馆这一主题，而医学博物馆在19世纪是医学院教学的核心。本文旨在解决英国省级医学教育的问题，并阐明博物馆的一些情况，如果从它们的规章制度和费用来判断，博物馆是这些教育机构提供的最重要的服务之一。博物馆最初是由具有创新精神的医疗从业者创立的，并得到了富有的赞助人和当地医生的捐赠，博物馆经过重组、更新和扩大，进入并超越了随后的医院和实验室医学时代。鉴于它们在第二次世界大战之前对医学教育的中心地位，有人认为这一时期甚至可能被称为博物馆医学时代。
While much has been written in the last few decades on the history of medical education, less attention has focused on the subject of medical museums, which were central to instruction at medical schools during the nineteenth century. This article aims to readdress the question of provincial medical education in England and shed some light on museums, which, if one were judging by their rules, regulations, and costliness, were among the most important services offered by these educational institutions. Originally founded by innovative medical practitioners and supplemented with donations from wealthy patrons and local doctors, museums were reorganized, updated and enlarged into and beyond a subsequent era of hospital and laboratory medicine. Given their centrality to medical education before the Second World War, it is suggested this period might even be referred to as an age of museum medicine.
