History of Medicine
Understanding the past, building the future
The Dean's initiative in the history of medicine is to promote interest in the history of medicine through education and research. Honouring our past encourages our current and prospective students, residents, faculty, and alumni to appreciate the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry's history of excellence and carry it forward. Critically reflecting on the faculty's history helps us to inform contemporary decisions.
