From 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m.
Join us for the opening of our exhibition, Early American Medicine, in conjunction with three national conferences here in Cincinnati. In the mid-nineteenth century, as a counter to the unregulated medical education system and drastic treatments like bloodletting and purging, more evidence-based, scientifically sound practices emerged from inside and outside of the mainstream medical establishment. Through books, medical and pharmaceutical implements, and more, Early American Medicine will explore early developments of American medical practice and highlight the nineteenth-century movements that set the stage for modern medical science.
Free and open to the public. Light refreshments.
