The UCLA Programs in Medical Classics began in 1983. The lecture series is designed to bring together important medical writings and texts, clinical practice, basic research and humanistic scholarship. The programs explore in detail the scientific and clinical meaning of the text or topic, and its significance in the light of present-day medical practice. The topics embody the history of medicine, as well as the relation of medicine to broader cultural settings. |
