Blood, Leeches, Quacks


In this section of the portal–
Blood, Leeches, and Quacks–we will develop a series of history of medicine and humanities modules that explore:

  • The Human Body (physiology, anatomy, pathology, histology)
  • Medical Therapies (the history, technology, ethics of medical interventions)
  • Medical Practice (the history and culture of the practice of medicine)

This section of the Portal is dedicated to the art and practice of medicine and will be designed specifically to complement the undergraduate medical education curriculum at McMaster’s DeGroote School of Medicine.

Blood, Leeches, and Quacks will offer a series of thematic modules in medical humanities to complement the medical foundations of the undergraduate curriculum on MEDPORTAL:
    –  Medical Foundations 1
    –  Medical Foundations 2
    –  Medical Foundations 3
    –  Medical Foundations 4
    –  Medical Foundations 5 

We invite medical students to browse, enjoy, contribute, and make suggestions for this area of the portal as it develops.
