This course highlights several of the paradigm shifting that have taken place in history in the field of
medicine. Explored will be the dominant beliefs that existed at the time of discovery, the nature of the
discovery, sometimes accidental, the receptiveness of the medical community, and ultimately, the change
that ensued after the discovery. Students will critically evaluate historical patterns to uncover the nature
of scientific discovery in the field of medicine.
