POV

This article is horribly biased and filled with little peacock terms. Sentences like "The George Washington University opened in 1821 as the Columbian College, when Washington only had nine physicians and two apothecaries. The time was ripe for change. Four years after its founding, the college added a medical department to its curriculum. This, the eleventh medical department in the nation and the first in the capital, would evolve into the internationally recognized medical school, hospital, and ambulatory care facility - the George Washington University Medical Center." and "Then as now, care of the indigent was an important service at GW. Supported in part by the federal government, which appropriated between two and six thousand dollars a year for the purpose, GW treated "transient sick paupers" besides paying customers." are not appropriate in an encyclopaedia, and smack of a press announcement. Please bring this article into line with WP:NPOV. Ironholds (talk) 19:39, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

That quote is directly from the School's site... http://www.gwumc.edu/smhs/about/history.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.127.253.130 (talk) 19:06, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

The intro reads like it's straight from their PR department. "The George Washington University School of Medicine has always been at the forefront of technology for research and application." Blah blah blah. At least, editors should put in the flag "Neutrality in question".Star-lists (talk) 22:43, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Reformated cites

I just reformated the cites to hide link addresses. This is in line with standard practice here. Nofatlandshark (talk) 22:06, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
