Revolutions in Medicine: 250 Years of Medical Progress

In honor of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, Galter Library is hosting an exhibit that highlights four breakthroughs that sparked their own revolutions and transformed medicine forever: the development of modern epidemiology, the invention of vaccination, the advancement of surgical anesthesia, and the discovery of X-rays. 

Now on display in the Eckenhoff Reading Room, Revolutions in Medicine: 250 Years of Medical Progress traces the scientific developments that have led to the rapidly changing field of medicine we know today.
