[AAHM_Clio_Project] FW: Medical Students embracing medical history

[Hirshbein, Laura]

This email was sent to us by Shelley McKellar - thanks for sharing! The top 10 reasons to study medical history was generated by students at her university, and it's really amazing.

Thanks!
Laura

Subject: Medical Students embracing medical history

In the spirit of the Clio Project initiated by you and other AAHM members, I wanted to share with you a recent list compiled by 4th year medical students at my university related to the value of the history of medicine -- "Top 10 Reasons why studying medical history may make you a better doctor."  I was a bit blown-away by this, bracing myself for med students having fun with a course elective in their final term.

"Top 10 Reasons why studying medical history may make you a better doctor"  https://www.schulich.uwo.ca/medicine/undergraduate/ume-blog/articles/2015/03/30/icymi-top-10-reasons-why-studying-medical-history-will-make-you-a-better-doctor   (Students also had "honourable mentions" on this list -- more tongue-in-cheek, humourous points related to our medical history course that didn't make this published Top 10 list -- probably a good thing)
