Opening Doors: Contemporary African-American Surgeons

August 1 - September 27, 2010

HSLC Atrium

African Americans have always practiced medicine, whether as physicians, healers, midwives, or "root doctors." The journey of the African American physician from pre-Civil War to modern day America has been a challenging one. Early black pioneer physicians not only became skilled practitioners, they became trailblazers and educators paving the way for future physicians, surgeons, and nurses, and opening doors to better health care for the African American community.

Pharmaceuticals & Pharmacists: The Evolving Relationship

Guest curated by the American Institute for the History of Pharmacy

October 1st through November 30th, 2008

Drugs and druggists go hand-in-hand in the mind of the public. By the early 1800s, pharmaceutists were manufacturing ingredients to be compounded into prescriptions. During the late 1900s, large companies came to dominate the production of medicines while pharmacists took on greater responsibility for their proper use. This exhibit explores this historical partnership by looking at how medicine production, regulation, and marketing have changed over time in parallel with the development of the pharmacy profession.
