HIST 417-001: History of Modern Medicine

This course will investigate the development of the modern medical profession over the last 300 years. We will examine the clinical encounter between patient and healer and how it has been shaped by larger forces such as race, class, gender, politics, and economics. Covering diverse topics such as the effects of the French Revolution upon the field of medicine, the links between mass urbanization and epidemics, the popularization of germs, and the power of modern pharmaceutical companies, students will explore how shifting social and cultural values have motivated changes in thinking about health and healers.
