This course is offered in connection to a medical abroad trip in Greece and specifically focuses on western medical origins through examining Hippocrates and his followers as well as framing discussion concerning healthcare practices and reforms and their impact on patient care both in Greece and in the United States. While in Greece, students will engage in cultural excursions and will work with Sewanee faculty to reflect on their readings and discuss connections to their medical experiences in the 40+ hours of shadowing in Greek Hospitals.
