Medicine in Iran

Profession, Practice and Politics, 1800-1925

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book traces how medicine in modern Iran was both theoretically and institutionally transformed in the 19th and 20th centuries. It explores the process by which local physicians, in a non-colonial context, assimilated the emerging "modern medicine" and the institutional devices that accommodated this transition.
