Healers in the Making investigates medical instruction at the
University of Bologna using the lens of practical medicine,
focusing on both anatomical and surgical instruction and showing
that teaching medicine between the late thirteenth and
mid-sixteenth centuries was a consciously constructed and vigorous
project that required ongoing local political and cultural
negotiations beyond books and curriculum. Using municipal,
institutional, and medical texts, Kira Robison examines the outward
structures of academic and civic power involved in the formation of
medical authority and illuminates the innovations in practical
medical pedagogy that occurred during this era. In this way,
Robison re-examines academic medicine, the professors, and
students, returning them to the context of the medical marketplace
within a dynamic and flourishing urban landscape. See inside the
book.
