Welcome to (your name here) medical school

Medical journals are fairly dry reading, and it isn't often that I come across an intriguing headline like "Green Eggs and Ham." But there it was in a recent issue of Academic Medicine, with a story noting how Dartmouth's medical school had been renamed in 2012 for one of the university's most famous graduates, Theodor Geisel, or Dr. Seuss — a doctor, of course, of a different kind. Dartmouth Medical School had been rechristened the Audrey and Theodor Geisel School of Medicine, joining a growing list of medical schools that had been renamed after benefactors.
