Diffusion of Medical Knowledge (DMK) Research Infrastructure

The Diffusion of Medical Knowledge (DMK) Research Infrastructure will collect, digitize, and uncover historical data on the universe of physicians in the United States during the early-20th century. The goal is to create a database of biographical and educational information on physicians from which we can infer physician quality. The project's scientific aim is to better understand how improvements in the quality of medical education can lead to better health outcomes and innovation in health care.
