In the most recent HC alumni magazine, I saw the following and think it’s pretty rad…

“Per capita, the college is tied with Harvard and Stanford for the number of M.D.-Ph.D. and D.V.M.-PhD students it trains- the highest ratio in the country.” This was based on a finding in a book, “The Vanishing Physician Scientist?” [THE VANISHING PHYSICIAN-SCIENTIST?](http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/cup_detail.taf?ti_id=5493)

Alumnus William Harris MD '49, former head of orthopedics at Mass General, authored a paper in 1969 that based on a citation review is the the #1 cited paper in the field of orthopedics. [The 100 classic papers of orthopaedic surgery: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS – Kelly et al. 92-B (10): 1338 – Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery - British Volume](http://web.jbjs.org.uk/cgi/content/abstract/92-B/10/1338)
