CfP: Edited Volume on the History of Medical Education
This peer-reviewed volume will bring together original and
diverse scholarship on the history of
medical education and training in the healing arts. Historical research on
all periods and geographies are welcome, including global and comparative
perspectives, as well as any aspect of learning processes, systems, or
experiences.
The inspiration for the book is to celebrate the exceptional
and ongoing contributions to research and teaching in History of Medicine made
by the Canadian historian-physician Jacalyn
Duffin. The volume’s focus on the history of medical education acknowledges
Dr. Duffin’s particular impact as an educator of future physicians and advocate
for the utility of history in today’s medical curriculum during her tenure as
Hannah Chair in History of Medicine at Queen’s University.
Possible topics could include, but are not limited to:
·
medical education (within and beyond medical
schools) – any time period or region
·
comparative, global, non-Western, or local
histories of learning how to treat or prevent illness
·
apprenticeships or means of knowledge
transmission in the healing arts, broadly construed
·
learning medicine from individual, cultural,
professional, and institutional perspectives
