تاريخ پزشكي

It is well-known that "studying the history of science is a fundamental means to develop the foundations, theories, and enrichment of knowledge. It expands the scope of problems and cognitive possibilities." Medicine is no exception to this rule; in fact, it is one of the most critical fields to study. Medicine crystallizes scientific knowledge within cultural, psychological, social, and historical contexts. As Thomas Kuhn stated in his book "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions."

Additionally, the history of any nation or civilization plays a significant role in shaping its collective cultural identity. While political history is subject to criticism due to its association with governing systems, the scientific endeavors of nations represent a unifying historical narrative. Regardless of other elements such as religion, the scientific history of a people becomes a source of pride and admiration. This holds true for medicine, which directly impacts people's lives. Therefore, studying the history of science, especially in the context of medicine, contributes to a nation's soft power and identity.
