UCLA Programs in Medical Classics
The UCLA Programs in Medical Classics is a series of presentations designed to enhance an appreciation of the links among famous medical writings, clinical practice, basic research and humanistic scholarship. These meetings bring together a convivial group of individuals of scholarly tastes -- both from the community and from the UCLA faculty, students and staff -- for a lecture and an opportunity to examine texts and topics that embody the history of medicine, as well as the relations of medicine to broader cultural settings.
