Program Description
Go back in time to the year 1790 just after the American Revolution, to meet Patriot, farmer, and physician, Doctor Samuel Thompson. As Doctor Samuel Thompson’s medical apprentices, students cure yellow fever, mend a broken leg, and prevent smallpox through inoculation. Students discover Doctor Thompson’s tools for treatment such as leeches, inoculation, and herbs, and how diverse people and technologies from across Africa, indigenous America and Europe contributed to the foundations of America’s rich medical culture. To conclude, students meet a 21st century medical student and assist them in a role-play diagnosing a modern day patient.
