Program Description
How did the colonial trades of physician and apothecary develop in the colonies? What are similarities and differences between diseases and treatments of the past compared to today? Set during the American Revolution, students will enter the world of Samuel Thompson – doctor, farmer, patriot. By becoming Doctor Thompson’s apprentices, students are empowered to diagnose and treat his patients– using medicinal herbs from Doctor Thompson’s medicinal garden – all while avoiding being captured by the British! In the final stage of the program, students will be able to meet a current healthcare professional who role plays a fictional 21st century patient. Guiding the students in art and science of modern medicine, students diagnose and prescribe treatments available today!
