Discussing the Past and Envisioning the Future: A History of the Health Sciences Lecture Series

Abstract

The Medical History Interest Group (MHIG) was established in the fall of 2001 by the Laupus Library History Collections in collaboration with the School of Medicine’s Medical Humanities department. The purpose was to sponsor an annual lecture series on the history of health care in order to promote a greater understanding of the historical and philosophical underpinnings of today's health care disciplines.
