  	Notes: This course is a survey of the history of medicine and health care, particularly in Western societies, from antiquity to the present. The aims are (a) to sketch main subject lines pertinent to the evolution of modern medicine in its cultural contexts; (b) to examine the ways in which the body, health and disease were conceptualised; (c) to examine the changing role of "the healer" and "the patient"; (d) to track the evolution of some of the major institutional and societal frameworks of medicine and health care; (e) to analyse the ways in which human societies and their healers interacted in the face of medical challenges. As this course is designed as a 1-year course, ending with the national History of Medicine Days conference, attandance during the full 1-year course is expected (full credit given for the 2 hafl-courses). Intersted students are request to contact Dr. Stahnisch (fwstahni@ucalgary.ca) in addition to the waiting list as further places might be available after Med. Fac. inscriptions.
