History of Medicine Working Group

Welcome to the History of Medicine Working Group!

The History of Medicine Working Group is a graduate-student-led forum for the presentation and discussion of ongoing work in the history of medicine. In addition to highlighting new research, it aims to foster reflection on the craft of the medical historian by bringing together scholars  at various stages of career development and institutions. The Working Group is based in the Department of the History of Science at Harvard University.

The faculty sponsors of the working group are David Jones and Allan Brandt. The student co-coordinators for the 2026-2027 academic year are Sri Sathvik Rayala and Alexandra Halberstam.
