BackgroundMedical history plays a foundational role in shaping the characters and habits of thought of developing physicians. Specifically, it cultivates an ability to assess the quality and durability of current knowledge and contributes to the growth of resilience, humility and intellectual curiosity. Especially for Infectious Diseases, knowledge of its history fosters an appreciation for our evolving understanding of the field and an opportunity to spark interest in a future career. Nevertheless, it is hard to find the space for this content amidst competing priorities in the medical school curriculum. An integrative approach has been described as a way to introduce history as a longitudinal component of the existing curriculum. Our aim, using this approach, was to pilot the incorporation of history modules into the Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (Micro/ID) course at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
