title: Graduate university course another sign of continuing interest in medical history.
abstract: Whether the interest is shown through a new graduate course in medical history at the University of Toronto or membership in history-of-medicine clubs, physicians continue to show a keen curiosity about their profession's past. "Other countries have well-established medical-history museums and large permanent collections," explains one museum curator, "and Canada should not neglect her own medical past." Unfortunately, difficult economic times mean universities and hospitals often have a hard time giving priority to medical history.
