Announcing the 12th Annual Joint Atlantic Seminar in the History of Medicine, hosted by the Johns Hopkins History of Medicine Department. The conference will be held October 3-4, 2014 in Baltimore, Maryland. JAS Med is an annual gathering of early career historians of medicine and public health, coordinated by graduate students.

We welcome all participants and encourage interdisciplinary conversations.
