Search for the Healthy City
Join us for the 7th Search for the Healthy City
study tour in Italy, September 2 - 12,
2012, in Padua and Venice. The theme
this year is Healing through the Ages.
During this residential seminar we will discuss classics of medical
history and public health, visit healing and cultural sites, and examine how
health systems and medical educators have responded to epidemics and plagues
from the Renaissance until today.
Seminar faculty will include Samuel Cohn, PhD, Professor
of Medieval History at the University of Glasgow and author of the recent book
Cultures of Plague, who will guide us through the site of an old plague
hospital in Venice, and Giorgio Zanchin, MD, Professor of Neurology at the
University of Padua Medical School, who will introduce us to the famous
archives and anatomic theater of the oldest active medical school in Europe .
After three nights in Venice we will spend a week in
Padua at the Hotel Majestic Toscanelli (www.toscanelli.com<http://www.toscanelli.com>),
located one block away from the famous Palazzo Bo, the
historic heart of the oldest medical school in Europe. Participants will see great artistic works of
the early Renaissance, enjoy the cuisine of the Veneto and Emilia-Romana
regions of Italy, and visit the nearby towns of Bologna, Ravenna, and Verona.
This course is open to all interested persons. CME and CEU credits will be offered in
collaboration with the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.
