Description: NIH Clinical Center's 2004 Medicine for the Public lecture series

Medical research has been conducted in one form or another from almost the beginning of human history. This lecture will examine the history of medical research from before Hippocrates until now; the history of the NIH Clinical Center, the largest clinical research hospital in the world, and the first to situate research laboratories in close proximity to patient beds; what it means to be a research subject and how to know if the research is meaningful and safe.
