Vincent Rajkumar: from Madras to Minnesota for myeloma
Mindful of the difficulties he faced, Rajkumar took his time writing to training programmes—including to Anthony Gustafson, who was at that time Professor of Medicine at the University of North Dakota—while he fulfilled a bond that required him to spend 2 years practising in rural hospitals in India. Impressed by Rajkumar's academic scores, Gustafson phoned him one night and they “just clicked”—an offer of a place on the residency programme at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine followed. “The FDA [US Food and Drug Administration] know it, but there is a lot of pressure from patient groups, from drug companies, to approve drugs more and more on surrogate endpoints and lesser standards of evidence”, he warns.

Wilson, MD, at the Mayo Clinic in 1905 heralded the beginning of a new era in intraoperative diagnosis.

PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS: The Origins and Evolution of the Mayo Clinic from 1864 to 1939: A Minnesota Family Practice Becomes an International \Medical Mecca\
This paper describes the origins and international impact of the Mayo Clinic through 1939. Multispecialty group practice was invented at the clinic a century ago. A visiting Canadian physician wrote in 1906, \"Specialization and cooperation, with the best that can be had in each department, is here the motto. Cannot these principles be tried elsewhere?\" Mayo Clinic's major (and underappreciated) role in the development of rigorous postgraduate (specialty) training is addressed. Unlike traditional academic medical centers that emphasize research, Mayo's main mission has always been patient care. This activity has been undertaken in an environment enriched by extensive programs devoted to specialty training and clinical research.
