From head transplants to Japanese medical experiments to dope history and more, the 2017 History of Medicine Colloquium delivered an outstanding program showcasing a wide range of Schulich Medicine student independent projects in the history of medicine. This year, there were 11 research presentations, 5 poster presentations, and a special 4th year I&T group presentation - "Why Studying Medical History May Make Me a Better Doctor." More than 60 people attended the colloquium, including medical students, faculty and members of the community. Several members of the Harvey Club of London attended the evening, and were on hand to adjudicate and present several prizes awarded to the best presentations. All research projects were well presented, making it a tough task to select this year's prize winners.
