Established in 1999, the Centre for the History of Medicine brings together activities in medical history from across the University. A lively, interdisciplinary community, the Centre runs a programme of workshops, seminars and conferences, many of which are open to the public. The Centre also coordinates the activities of the MA in the History of Medicine, and a large cohort of postgraduate students.
We are pleased to have been awarded a second Wellcome Trust Strategic Award (£812k over five years) to undertake a programme of research on the theme ‘Situating Medicine: New Directions in the History of Medicine.’...Read More

NEW: PhD Studentship in the History of Medicine. The Centre for the History of Medicine at the University of Warwick invites applications for a PhD studentship commencing in Autumn 2010. This studentship is part of our on-going Wellcome-funded Strategic Award, 'Situating Medicine: New Directions in the History of Medicine'. The successful candidate will work with Dr Roberta Bivins (who will supervise) and other Centre members to explore the impact and experiences of South Asia's medical diaspora - doctors, nurses, researchers, medical students and allied health professionals -- in Britain, and particularly in the West Midlands during the post-war period. He or she will register for a PhD research degree in the History of Medicine; the research project may be tailored to particular ethnic or professional subgroups, but must address therapeutic cultures in both domestic and clinical settings. This studentship offers its holder a unique opportunity to work with experts in the history of medicine, and simultaneously to develop expertise and a professional profile in the fields of global and social history and ethnicity studies.
