Print out pages which list historical medical events. 2. Before starting the unit, give cards (from Human Medical History Timeline) to selected students and tell them to arrange themselves in the order they think the medical events occurred. 3. Let the students know how many they have correct. Allow others in the class to suggest the correct order. 1. Show the PowerPoint presentation: History of Medicine, found on the course CD. 2. Have students answer the questions on the Unlocking the History of Health Care study guide. 3. Discuss answers in class. Use the pages in the PowerPoint, B Timeline Pages, from the course CD. Encourage students to recall prior learning from history class to help them reason out the correct order. If students can recall what was happening in the world, then the medical history happenings make sense. CT This PowerPoint serves as an introduction to this unit. Teacher can dress up as a medical historical figure as he/she leads this discussion. The PowerPoint contains more details than the content outline, and is designed to spark interest and paint a more complete picture. The questions in the PowerPoint study guide are designed to encourage thinking. CT Medical History Display 1. Divide students into groups of 3 or 4 students and assign them a period of time in history 2. Provide students with a copy the Medical Health Display Assignment Sheet and Rubric. 3. Give students time to work together and inform them of deadlines. 4. Have students present their displays to the class Ask your medial specialist or local hospital if you can display the students work. Note: The displays cover this objective and the next. Be sure to give students enough time to complete this assignment. CT, A Note: The course textbook states that 75% of the population of Europe and Asia died during the Bubonic plague. Other resources have that number closer to 33%. B.7

8 HT02.02 DESCRIBE MEDICAL ADVANCES MADE IN 16TH- 20TH CENTURY HEALTH CARE. Activity Steps Comments Medical History Skit 1. Provide students with a copy of the Medical History Skit Instructions and rubric. 2. Assign groups and topics. Arrange for research time with Internet access may be in the classroom, media center, or computer lab. Fact or Fiction Sheet Is the Doctor In?

Have students go to the following website: ctor/, select a set of symptoms, and complete the comparison chart. 3. As a class, ask students What did you learn from doing this activity. They should give big picture, thoughtful responses. Topics should include anything from the first 3 objectives for this unit. Skits should be videotaped and used to assist in grading and as a future instructional tool. CT, W, A, R You may want to have the students correct the fiction statements to make them fact. This is a fun website. In addition to getting a sense of how medical care has changed, it also addresses different forms of payment of insurance over time. If your school does not have computer access, teachers can print out a copy of the text from the website. This site also has good information about Alexander Fleming. CT, T, R B.8

9 HT02.03 RESEARCH MEN AND WOMEN WHO MADE HISTORICAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO HEALTH CARE. Activity Steps Comments Medical History Job 1. Assign or have students randomly select a name of a person who has made a historical contribution to health care. Medical History Contribution Chart Who am I and What Did I Do Quiz 2. Hand out the Medical History Job sheet. 3. Students are to research the person they have been assigned. They are then to create a resume about the person. 4.

14 KEY: UNLOCKING THE HISTORY OF HEALTH CARE Study Guide to accompany the PowerPoint Note to teacher: Responses will vary. The purpose of the activity is to promote thinking and discussion about the history of health care. As students share their responses, it is helpful to ask a number of why questions, and reinforce understanding of the major concepts. Primitive Times 4000 BC 3000 BC 1. If you had a stomach ache and chills during primitive times, would you tell someone? Why or why not? Response should acknowledge that the assumption is they are suffering because they did something wrong and are being punished by the Gods.

Response should mention the Chinese origins of acupuncture, and note that the procedure has had some staying power. Greeks (1200 BC 200 BC) 6. Why do some people say that the Greeks are the founders of modern medicine? Their beliefs are still held in western cultures today. Romans (753 BC AD410) 7. In history class you learned that the Romans were known for building roads and impressive buildings, and for fighting wars. How do those facts relate to the Romans contributions to medicine? The Romans were builders, thus the sanitation system, sewers and aqueducts. And since they had a number of soldiers who fought battles, it makes sense that they would develop the first hospitals. B.14

15 Dark Ages (AD400 AD 800) 8. Why did they call it the Dark Ages? Religion prevented the advancement of science, creating a lack of progress of civilization. Middle Ages (AD 800 AD 1400) 9.
