Legacies of our Medical Past workshop
Does history always move in a straight line? Is innovation always straightforward? This engaging workshop asks students to reflect on the events of history to consider the past, present and future of medicine.
What will my students do in this session?
Students will engage with different objects to investigate case studies that show the progress of history is not linear and knowledge is lost and gained over time. In a group discussion and debate, they will debunk the myth that medical advances were continuous, and we are at the pinnacle of technology.
What will my students learn in this session?
Students will analyse difference types of causes and consequences from events in medical history.
- Students will critique existing interpretations of medical history and identify patterns of change.
