Medicine Medical education and teaching Teaching history of medicine History of medicine, as a discipline 20th century 21st century Canada

The virtues of learning medical history for medical students have long been argued. Surveys of Canadian medical schools were done in 1939, 1968, and 1999 to discover details about the inclusion of medical history in undergraduate medical education (UME). In 2012, we completed our own survey. While medical history is more commonly included in the core UME curriculum now than in the past, half of Canada's schools still do not require it. An analysis of trends over time reveals the central importance of longstanding and emergent prejudices and cultural influences as barriers to more widespread inclusion of medical history. Les vertus de l'apprentissage de l'histoire de la médecine par les étudiants en médecine ont été souvent vantées. Des enquêtes ont été menées en 1939, 1968 et 1999 dans des écoles de médecine canadiennes afin d'amasser de l'information sur la présence de cette matière dans la formation. En 2012, nous avons complété notre propre enquête. Bien que l'histoire de la médecine soit plus souvent incluse dans les curriculums que par le passé, la moitié des écoles canadiennes ne l'exigent toujours pas. Une analyse des tendances à travers le temps révèle l'importance centrale de préjugés et de facteurs culturels anciens et récents ayant fait obstacle à une adoption plus large de l'histoire médicale.
