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.
