Good podcast, I really enjoyed it. It's interesting that seemingly completely different disciplines like medicine and history have a lot to teach each other. What are some good books on the history of medicine?
I started listening to these recently and they are amazing! Y’all do a great job making them accessible and educational! Excited for this one :)
This might be a more broad topic, and I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place, so feel free to delete my comment if need be!
I'm just curious, how does one become a medical historian? What path did you take, how does it differ from others? I've noticed that some medical historians are working doctors or pathologists, others work in the history department at universities, and still others are even more specialized or work in museums. I'm curious because I'm going back to school this year (finally!), and I've never been able to get a straight answer from any career services counselor on how to become a medical historian, because its such a specialized field and doesn't have a fast track plan, like business or marketing. Any information you'd like to share on your experience would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for this
