Abstracts on general topics in the history of medicine and public health are also welcome.
Abstracts (not to exceed 250 words) should be submitted by Tuesday, January 16, 2024, together with authors’ contact details, titles, and affiliations, to historynight@nyam.org. Each submission will be reviewed by a committee comprised of Section members and staff of The New York Academy of Medicine. Selection will be based upon the quality of the submission, pertinence to the subject, and fit with other talks.
