Studying the history of advancements in medical knowledge helps us see the convoluted path to uncovering medical knowledge. In this class we will focus on our changing understanding of three diseases (syphilis, cholera, and beri-beri) alongside changes in scientific practice, world economics, and technological advances. You do not need a scientific or medical background to enjoy our exploration of this topic. The only prerequisite is a curious mind.
This offering meets for a total of 5 session(s).
