Born 23 May 1718; died 30 Mar 1783 at age 64.

#British #obstetrician, #educator, and medical #writer whose high standards of #teaching and #medicalpractice took obstetrics from the hands of the #midwives and established it as an accepted branch of medicine.

He built up a distinguished #clientèle (including members of the Royal Family) and made a #collection of #anatomical and #pathological #specimens related to his medical work.

Hunter began public lectures on anatomy in 1746 and became a member of the corporation of surgeons in 1746.

With the lack of training spaces in hospitals, the demand for private #anatomy schools increased rapidly. He became one of the most #successful anatomy teachers of his time. Hunter was still teaching anatomy in his Great Windmill Street Institute until his death.
