HIST 365 - Medicine in Western Society3 Credit Hours
In this course, we explore the changing intellectual, economic, institutional and cultural relationships that have characterized medicine in the Western world from antiquity to the present. We consider the education of practitioners, locations of healing, and expectations that people had of medicine as ideas about the body and illness shifted with new discoveries and theories about health and disease. We examine the roles both of prominent individuals (Harvey, Pasteur, Ehrlich) and of general trends (industrialization, technology) in shaping medical practice and the medical professions.
