The Robert U. Massey History of Medicine Society is an association of individuals interested in presentations and discussions on the history of medicine. The Society seeks to foster an understanding of medicine's historical context and an appreciation for the cultural and social settings in which medical developments have taken place. The Society also seeks to encourage health sciences students to acquire an appreciation for their historical heritage. |
The Society is affiliated with the University of Connecticut Health Center.
The Society is open to those who have an interest in the history of medicine. A roster of members is maintained in the Department of Community Medicine and Health Care. Those who wish to be included on the membership roster should notify this department to be included on the mailing list for Society lectures. The willingness of members to present lectures or recommend speakers contributes to the Society's ability to maintain community interest and attract new members.
The Society meets at 5:00 p.m. on the second Wednesday of the month, October through April.
