This lunch session continues a conversation started by the Ad Hoc Committee on Teaching History of Medicine in Medical Schools survey by asking whether medical students should learn history of medicine. We envision this session as a discussion among all the attendees, with the discussion starting online. Please register below to join in. We have posted some articles and questions to start the conversation and we encourage you to add your thoughts, experiments, and documents. Send documents for posting to Jennifer Gunn at gunnx005@umn.edu. The session coordinators will use the online questions to structure the lunch discussion. Afterwards, this webpage will be used to post a summary of the discussions at the meeting and facilitate follow-up. We hope that this session will generate a range of effective practices and new ideas for integrating clinical and historical approaches in medical education and make them available to the participants and the AAHM.
