Description
An interesting look at the field of medicine from Hippocrates on. The book covers major developments throughout the ages along with the pioneers who authored them. Aspiring doctors, nurses or others leaning toward a medical profession will appreciate this survey.
Publisher's Description of Exploring the History of Medicine
From surgery to vaccines, man has made great strides in the field of medicine. Quality of life has improved dramatically in the last few decades alone, and the future is bright. But students must not forget that God provided humans with minds and resources to bring about these advances.
A biblical perspective of healing and the use of medicine provides the best foundation for treating diseases and injury. In Exploring the World of Medicine, author John Hudson Tiner reveals the spectacular discoveries that started with men and women who used their abilities to better mankind and give glory to God.
The fascinating history of medicine comes alive in this book, providing students with a healthy dose of facts, mini-biographies, and vintage illustrations. Includes chapter tests and index.
Category Description for Advanced Pre-Med Studies
We occasionally get requests for courses that will prepare students for careers in medicine. Whether interested in being a nurse's aid, nurse, or doctor, this series of planners and books can lay a solid foundation for a medical future. The Basic Pre-Med is ½ credit, and Advanced Pre-Med is a full high school credit. Each is laid out into 180 daily lessons that take 30-45 minutes. Suggested labs are mentioned in the front of each book, but they aren't required and are not written into the schedule. The schedule is in a chart that also provides space for assignment due dates and recording grades. Also included in each planner are worksheets for each chapter, quizzes, tests, and an answer key. Science of Life: Biology is a ½ credit study that covers an introduction to science the first semester and life science in the second semester. The first semester of Basic Pre-Med is microbiology, and the second semester is life science. The books used in Advanced Pre-Med can be studied in the sequence presented or as independent units. Lay the foundation from a biblical worldview and help your students prepare for their future. ~ Donna

Fascinating Stuff to Know
Much of medicinal knowledge is relatively recent, historically speaking. Students may not know about how brutal surgery was before anesthetics or consider hand-washing a discovery! Each chapter ends with a worksheet of True False/ multiple choice "test" questions. (We did them aloud). This isn't a science curriculum but a history OF the medicinal sciences. I chose to supplement it with some elementary/middle school history encyclopedias from Usborne publishers.

Almost done with this book and it has been a good one I have made sure that I can hear each chapter that my son reads because it is so interesting to me I have learned so much myself You can easily get through three chapters a week Several questions are at the end of each chapter It has been something that has kept my son's interest and he enjoys reading about the history of medicine It has blown him away that men with great pride had actually held back discoveries and treatments that could save lives So good Biblical teaching can be taught with this book and when a man had a relationship with God it is mentioned in this book as well Love it! i found the price to be reasonable as well

This has been a great resource for us We have used it to supplement history science and reading There are questions at the end of each chapter that we have used for comprehension I would suggest this book for children ages nine and up depending on reading ability and sensitivity to the content There are several pictures throughout the text that a younger child may find disturbing but that have been used well to present the information It is very easy to use with little or no preparation I feel this book works best for visual learners I think I appreciate the comprehension aspect of this book the most as other books on this topic I have seen leave this out Great value at Rainbow Resource
