Introduction to Allopathy -- The Unique Philosophy of Modern Western Medicine
Dr. Louis Kuchnir, Shonool Malik, Tamara Menghi
Thu Jan 8, 01-02:00pm, 2-105
Enrollment limited: first come, first served
Limited to 65 participants.
Single session event
Allopathic medicine is taught by medical schools that award M.D. degrees. At its base is the philosophy that medical therapy should be based on science. In this moderated discussion with Dr. Louis Kuchnir, we'll explore both the strengths and quirks of conventional medicine, based on its foundation in the scientific method including peer review, controlled experimentation, and underpinnings in human biology. We'll also discuss how allopathic philosophy creates an antipathy toward euthanasia, prescribing placebo, integrating alternative therapies, etc. Finally, we'll consider the development of the standardized undergraduate premedical curriculum and extra-curriculars as prerequisites for studying medicine in an allopathic school.

Teaching Doctors the Chemistry they Ought to Know.
Dr. Louis Kuchnir
Thu Jan 8, 02-03:00pm, 2-105
Enrollment limited: first come, first served
Limited to 65 participants.
Single session event
Two years of undergraduate chemistry is required before matriculating in medical school. Many of the concepts taught in general and organic chemistry are not directly related to understanding human biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, and chemo-pharmacology. Perhaps these are merely challenging hurdles, but then shouldn't more attention be paid to whom they prevent from becoming doctors? A case will be made that the content itself is highly relevant, and that only professional chemists have the perspective to teach our future doctors this important science. A challenge for discussion will be to critically consider specific elements of the didactic and laboratory chemistry curriculum for its true value to those students.
