 History: School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Archives
The founder of the School of Medicine was a young Philadelphia physician, John Morgan.
The School of Medicine's faculty was famous throughout the nation -- Benjamin Rush in medicine, Philip Syng Physick in surgery, Robert Hare in chemistry, and around the mid-century, William Pepper in medicine and Joseph Leidy in anatomy.
In the 1870s, when the University of Pennsylvania moved from downtown Philadelphia to its present campus west of the Schuylkill River, the medical faculty persuaded the trustees to build a teaching hospital--one to be owned by the University and staffed by the medical faculty.

 Penn Researchers Add More Evidence To Demonstrate Role Of COX Inhibitors In Heart-disease Risk
Philadelphia, PA -- In two articles, published in Circulation, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine provide further evidence for the role of cyclooxygenases (COX) in heart-disease risk.
Six years ago Garret FitzGerald, MD, Director of the Institute for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics at Penn, raised the possibility that selective COX-2 inhibitors might predispose patients otherwise at risk for an increased incidence of heart attack and stroke.
In this first study, the researchers used a conventional statistical approach called meta-analysis to combine the findings of two trials to obtain a stronger estimate of the risk of heart attack plus stroke than is possible from looking at either trial alone.
