abstract:St Mary's is the youngest of the constituent schools of Imperial College, London, founded in 1854 as part of the new hospital in Paddington. During its existence in the 1980s and 90s, it was the most popular medical school in the country, with an application to place ratio of 27:1 in 1996.
The college is looking at proposals to shed staff as a result of the merger between Imperial College, St Mary's HospitalMedicalSchool, Charing Cross and Westminster MedicalSchool and the Royal Postgraduate MedicalSchool, Hammersmith.
