Hippocrates and Medical Education: Selected Papers Presented at the Xiith International Hippocrates Colloquium, Universiteit Leiden, 24-26 August 2005

The collection of writings known as the Corpus Hippocraticum played a decisive role in medical education for more than twenty-four centuries. This is the first full-length volume on medical education in Graeco-Roman antiquity since Kudlien's seminal article of 1970. Most of the articles in this volume were originally presented as papers at the XIIth International Colloquium Hippocraticum in Leiden in 2005.
