The Southern Association for the History of Medicine and Science -
SAHMS- will be hosting its 13th annual meeting in Memphis, TN March 4-5, 2011 in the famous Peabody Hotel. SAHMS is comprised of a group of medical humanities scholars, primarily focusing on the history of medicine and science and is an international society, both in membership and the scope of its presentations.

This year's program contains some 60 papers, with topics ranging from ancient to current history of medicine topics, several sessions on history of nursing, history of pharmacy, military medicine, and literature and medicine.

__________________________________________

I have the privilege of presenting at this year's conference, and if last year's conference was any guide, the 13th promises to be a rewarding, productive, and collegial atmosphere for discussing topics related to the history of medicine and science (the latter is intentionally construed quite broadly by the organization, which is one of its strengths, IMO).
