People Who Studied Abroad #179:Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., author and physician From: United States Studied: He was one of the first Americans to study at the École de Médecine in Paris, France. Paris was known for its strength in medical training at the time, and many American physicians studied there and brought the practices back to the U.S. All study at the École de Médecine was conducted in French, so he had to engage a tutor to keep up. He wrote to his father saying, “I love to talk French, to eat French, to drink French every now and then.”
