History of Medicine
In March 1944 Sir Winston Churchill remarked that "The more you can look back, the further you can go forward."
The past bears the genesis of the present and future. History forms the basis of all knowledge and is the convenient avenue of approach to any subject or any discipline of science. Also the concept of disease and the therapies based thereon has varied over the many millennia making the study even more essential.
As such it is natural to regard the evolution and progress of medicine from bygone times as an essential background to modern medical education.
