Learning Objectives - Part A
Lesson 1: Introducing History of Medicine.
Learning goals:
• Discuss history (and humanities as a whole) as a research discipline that enriches understanding of present-day medicine.
• Stimulate a sense of scepticism with regard to the “dogma” of the rest of the medical curriculum and against a concept of progress as a continuous self-overcome.
• Illustrate the different theories concerning medicine in the West from classical antiquity to the twentieth century.
• Describe how to work with historical sources, and how to identify and read primary sources.
Lesson 2-3: When and where did medicine emerge as a profession? The Classical world.
Learning goals:
• Describe how medicine moved from the idea of “disease” to “diseases”
• Discuss the Hippocratic revolution and development of “scientific medicine”
• Describe the birth of Western medical ethics
Lesson 4: When and where hospitals were born?
Learning goals:
• Discuss the history and evolution of health care systems, focusing on how health care came into being, understanding the forces that have shaped the management of hospitals and health systems in the past, underlining the role of the pioneers of EBM.
• Discuss various approaches to the understanding of the history of disease;
• Describe how both the epidemiology of diseases and ideas about them are shaped by social, economic and cultural forces, as well as by changing understandings of medical science.
Lesson 5: When did Medicine discover the “human body”? From the Renaissance to modern Medicine
Learning goals:
• Highlight fundamental changes in the approach to the study of anatomy
• Understand the relationship between medicine and society
• Appreciate the affirmation of clinical method and the concept of sickness
• and cultural forces, as well as by changing understandings of medical science.

Course program - Part A
Lesson 1: Introducing History of Medicine.
Students will deal with the different sources (paleopathological, iconographical and literary sources) used to reconstruct the History of Medicine: they will acquire a basic knowledge of the different theories concerning Medicine in the West from classical antiquity to the twentieth century, learning to work with historical sources, and how to identify and read primary sources.
Lesson 2-3: When and where did medicine emerge as a profession? The Classical world.
Students will explore how different ideas about medicine contribute to different types of doctor/patient interactions,. They will learn about the emergence of western medicine as a profession, the history of medical education, the role of science in shaping and legitimizing medical practice. They will learn about the medical market place and how patients have navigated their way among a range of caregivers and health professionals from the past to the present, throwing light on the so named Hippocratic oath.
Lesson 4: When and where hospitals were born?
Students will appreciate the history and evolution of health care systems, focusing on how health care came into being, understanding the forces that have shaped the management of hospitals and health systems in the past, underlining the role of the pioneers of EBM.
They will discuss various approaches to the understanding of the history of disease, realizing how both the epidemiology of diseases and ideas about them are shaped by social, economic and cultural forces, as well as by changing understandings of medical science.
Lesson 5: When did Medicine discover the “human body”? From the Renaissance to modern Medicine
Students will start from the basic history of the practice of anatomical dissection, learning how it has been integrated into medical education; the discovery of the body and its functions lead to the collapse of the old pattern of Medicine, paving the way to the new experimentalism. Students will face with the consequences of the foundation of pathological anatomy and the birth of clinical method. The greatest discoveries of the XIX century will be considered in the light of the epistemological revolution of the XX.th century, focusing on the shaping of the biological pattern of medicine and the causes of its current crisis.
