本课程从20世纪初期到今天,从患者的声音开始,研究了美国的医学史。患者的观点不仅可以瞥见疾病的经历,而且还突出了对医疗实践和患者护理重要的关键主题。使用患者的反思作为检查医学史的主要镜头,涵盖的主题将包括与诊断过程,治疗干预措施,获得护理和医疗机构有关的历史变化和历史决策。For example, possible areas of focus include non-traditional institutions for individuals with disabilities, challenges obtaining payment for medical services even among those with health insurance, the health effects of environmental exposures on marginalized populations, the extent to which mental health concerns have been recognized and addressed in the setting of other diseases, and the role of patient and family advocacy in shaping clinical practice.该课程还研究了关于性别,种族和阶级的假设如何塑造诸如死亡率,诊断时间以及治疗方法和疗效的确定的差异差异。CRN:TBD
