SUMMER CONFERENCE

This year the Augustine College Summer Conference begins a new cycle of our Roots of Modern Medicine series, starting with a newly conceived Module I on the thought of ancient Greece. Each session in the week of June 6–12 will deal with an aspect of the Greek understanding of medicine and human life – with topics such as the theory and practice of medicine before and after Hippocrates; ethics in medical practice; the Greek understanding of health, the body, suffering, and life; leading ideas of this period from philosophy, politics, theology, literature, and art.

Applications forms can now be submitted online or by fax/mail.
