Medical History Walking Tour

History of Medicine artifacts

A self-guided historical walking tour was launched as part of Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry's 2014 Homecoming celebrations. Western University is rich with medical and dental history, and we are proud to be able to more formally highlight the many examples of this history in conjunction with our Dr. Shelley McKellar, The Jason A. Hannah Chair in the History of Medicine. Explore the hallways of our historic buildings, view medical and dental artifacts and get an up-close look at Robarts Research Institute. Printed brochures are available at Schulich Communications and in the History of Medicine Office in HSA 041.
