As a prospective history teacher, I am fascinated with any and all things in history. I have come to understand that  there are a few constants in all history. One of those certainties is disease and injury. Studying how different cultures and civilizations cope with disease is deeply interesting. Furthermore, watching how these cultures and civilizations change overtime can reveal a great deal about the values and goals of those societies.

It is impossible to study history without including the influence that medicine had on the world. I am excited to bring this area of history into the mainstream history education of today's youth.
