History of Medicine

SYMPOSIUM

12th Annual

Program DescriptionThis Annual History of Medicine Symposium will discuss how medicine has been influenced by society and how the study of past epidemics helps us respond appropriately today and in the future, especially with the recent and very real experience of Ebola. The impact of the Surgeon General’s report on smoking and Health will remind us of the importance of getting our patients to quit smoking and the significance of the Surgeon General’s Office. Modern day lessons on Ebola Virus Disease and its devastation to personal and societal health will be presented by those who were on the front lines of treating this disease in 1976 and 2014. It is intended for any physician interested in a historical perspective that will help us to better understand the present, especially in the complex socio-economic global environment in which we currently practice medicine.

At the conclusion of this course, the participant will be able to:

n Understand the role and value of the US Surgeon General’s Office in national health and the impact of the Surgeon General’s 1964 report on smoking and health.

n Understand the role of CDC in national and global health.

n Understand the devastation of new and emerging diseases such as Ebola Virus Disease.
