Medical knowledge manifests in materials, and materials are
integral to the reproduction of medical knowledge. From the novice
student to the expert practitioner, those who study and work in and
around medicine rely on material guidance in their everyday
practice and as they seek to further their craft. Students, just as
experts, pore over textbooks, photographs and films. They put up
and copy down chalkboard illustrations, manipulate plastic models
and inspect organic specimens fixed in formalin. They pass through
grand university libraries and try not to contaminate anything in
cramped surgical theatres. Students, just as experts, learn within
an expansive material culture of medicine, they learn from
explicitly educative materials, from the workaday tools used for
diagnosis and in treatment, they learn in everyday spaces and as
part of sprawling infrastructures. While the specific constellation
of material varies across time and space, many materials have
remained constant, key actors in the spread of medical practices
and in the steady, global expansion of biomedical frameworks of
health and disease. This collection focuses on the materials,
objects, tools and technologies which facilitate the reproduction
of medical knowledge and often reify understandings of medical
science. The training of doctors is changing rapidly in response to
technological development as well to the evolving needs and
expectations of patients. Medical schools are beginning to respond
to these challenges through curricula redesign and the purchase or
endorsement of new teaching aids, simulations and pedagogies.
Often, this means that medical schools are embracing the digital at
the expense of older teaching materials. Medical education is at a
critical juncture and there is momentum to radically rethink its
approaches. This collection offers a reflection on these challenges
by presenting an innovative and expansive overview of the role of
materiality in the training of doctors and in the social
reproduction of medicine in general. Experimental in form, and with
ethnographic, museological and historical cases, and traces from
around the world, this edited volume is the first to fully explore
the matter of medical education in the modern world. Supported by
the European Research Council under the European Union's Horizon
2020 research and innovation programme. An academic text, it will
be most relevant to academics and graduate students in the fields
of health and material culture, but will also have a wider
readership with those working on medical education and knowledge
and medical history
