History[edit | edit source]
St Mary's Hospital Medical School was founded in 1851, by a group of philanthropists in Paddington Green, London. The school was part of St Mary's Hospital, which was designed by architect Thomas Henry Wyatt and opened in 1851. The medical school and hospital were separate entities until 1988, when they were absorbed by Imperial College London.
Notable alumni[edit | edit source]
St Mary's Hospital Medical School has produced several notable alumni, including Alexander Fleming, who discovered penicillin, and Roger Bannister, who ran the first sub-four-minute mile. Other notable alumni include Augustus Waller, who recorded the first electrocardiogram, and Almroth Wright, who developed the first effective typhoid vaccine.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
Today, the legacy of St Mary's Hospital Medical School lives on within the Faculty of Medicine at Imperial College London. The medical school's original buildings are still in use, and a museum dedicated to its history and contributions to medicine is located on the premises.
