The article focuses on the rules and regulations governing the American Clinical and Climatological Association, founded by a group of physicians and scientists in 1884. Article II refers to the mission of the association to improve medical research and education in the U.S. Article IV describes the number of honorary, provisional, active, and emeritus, and members which should be less than 250.

The article focuses on medical society, American Clinical and Climatological Association. Topics include that it was organized in 1884 by a group of physicians and scientists who set about to improve medical education, research and practice; and its initial concern was with tuberculosis and its treatment by residence in a suitable climate.

The article presents information on the constitution and by-laws of the American Clinical and Climatological Association (ACCA). The ACCA was organized in 1884 by a group of physicians and scientists to improve medical education, research and practice in the U.S. ACCA is an exempt organizations under Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The structure and function of departments of medicine are important for several reasons. First, departments of medicine are the biggest departments in virtually every medical school and in most universities with a medical school, and they are the largest professional units in most academic medical centers. In fact, Petersdorf described them as "the linchpins of medical schools" (1). Departments of medicine account for one-fourth or more of the academic medical enterprise: they include about one-fourth of the faculty of medical school, account for roughly one-fourth of the patient care and clinical revenue of academic medical centers, and their faculty perform a disproportionate share of teaching and research, accounting for up to 45% of National Institutes of Health (NIH) - funded research in some medical schools. Second, the department's ability to fulfill its role and advance its mission depends on its structure and function. Finally, lessons learned from examining the structure and function of departments of medicine may guide other departments and schools of medicine themselves in improving their structure and function. This paper describes the issues that face departments of medicine in 2016. I begin by providing the context for these issues with a definition of a department of medicine, describing briefly the history of departments, and stating their mission. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Johns Hopkins Hunterian Neurosurgical Laboratory at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine was created in 1904 by Harvey Cushing and William Halsted and has had a long history of fostering surgical training, encouraging basis science research, and facilitating translational application. Over the past 30 years, the laboratory has addressed the paucity of brain tumor therapies. Pre-clinical work from the laboratory led to the development of carmustine wafers with initial US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in 1996. Combining carmustine wafers, radiation, and temozolomide led to a significant increase in the median survival of patients with glioblastoma. The laboratory has also developed microchips and immunotherapy to further extend survival in this heretofore underserved population. These achievements were made possible by the dedication, commitment, and creativity of more than 300 trainees of the Hunterian Neurosurgical Laboratory. The laboratory demonstrates the beneficial influence of research experience as well its substantial impact on the field of biomedical research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
