중세 의학

This is a broad introductory class that will cover a number of topics relating to medieval medicine. It is an ideal course for those who are interested in general history, the medieval time period, the study of diseases, or early medical practices. No prior classes or information is needed to be in this course, we will start with the basics and move on from that point.

Over the course of eight weeks, we will be touching on a number of topics in class. The sections will be as follows:
Section 1: Ancient Medicine
Section 2: Herbal Remedies and Apothecaries
Section 3: Christian, Jewish, and Islamic Beliefs and their Part in Medieval Medicine
Sections 4 and 5: The Plagues and Other Diseases
Section 6: Battlefield Medicine and Surgeries
Section 7: Women's Health
Section 8: Tudor Medicine, Progresses in Medieval Medicine, and the Renaissance 

I will be supplying all handouts and I will provide links for additional reading on the topics that on covered during each class. 

While the class will consist mostly of lecture points, I do highly encourage both discussion and questions in my classes. The environment I strive for is more along the lines of a roundtable discussion as opposed to a strictly sit and listen atmosphere.
