About the Course

"History of Medicine" provides an accessible historical and interdisciplinary perspective on medicine, focused primarily upon therapy and practice, to achieve better understanding of the scope, practice, and limits of medicine. Medicine is defined as the treatment of disease. Human attempts to understand and treat disease will be seen as evolving from the spiritual and mystical practices of the distant past, to the rational approach of the Classical World, and finally to the scientific thinking of the Renaissance and beyond. This course is appropriate for both a general audience and those entering medical and health professions....

Excelente curso. Excelente revisión histórica de la medicina desde sus principios hasta la actualidad; Las reflexiones sobre el futuro basadas en la comparación de la situación actual (2023), "en la que desde mediados del siglo pasado a excepción del AIDS, no ha habido ni hay ninguna epidemia a nivel mundial o pandemia global de ningún tipo", con la era de los principios de los cuidados, es extraordinaria.

Una vez más agradecer a COURSERA y a la University of California Santa Cruz, la oportunidad de aprendizaje.

I really enjoyed this course and the breadth of information was excellent, encompassing holistic views of medicine and their relative merits was interesting. It was perfect for a generalist lay person and concepts were explained clearly with attention to the potential audience. In the beginning it seemed one lecturer didn't quite know where to look (multiple camera angles), which was a little disconcerting but this improved throughout the duration of the course. A great overview to the topic! Many thanks!

I found this course immensely accessible, insightful and informative. As a student balancing subjects the ability to work with the variety of resources (videos, recommended reading etc) was engaging and questions at the end of each video encouraged me to consolidate my understanding. Whilst not being overly complicated, the course delved into lots of ideas and helped me build a basis in my knowledge of medicine in the past, so I can go onto more advanced studies and other topics with a foundation of familiarity.

I liked that the subject was handled in a very broad way, both from a historical perspective and in terms of comprehending all the topics that the subject touched on. I also think that the cooperation of the two professors makes the course more useful.

This course was amazing and it was very easy for me to complete this course. Btw, I completed it in 11 days only. The teachers were quite good in the videos were understandable. I think it would be better if you use slides in the to explain a topic.
