The History of Medicine Part One: The American Colonial Period

Andy

I will be presenting a series of lectures on the history of American Health Care through 1920.  These lectures are interesting in how they lay a framework for the system we have today.  The first lecture explores our colonial origins.  How did the American healthcare system and its doctors change from their European mentors?  What about the American landscape fermented something unique in the colonies regarding the practice and study of medicine?
