Medical Center Hour

The Medical Center Hour is a public forum on medical and society at the UVA School of Medicine. The lecture series is run by the Center for Health Humanities and Ethics at the UVA School of Medicine, previously known as the Center for Biomedical Ethics and Humanities, and originally founded as the Program of Humanities in Medicine by Dr. Edward W. Hook, former Professor and Chair of the UVA Department of Medicine. Materials in this sub-series include lecture recordings, handouts, transcripts, program schedules, and posters. Available materials vary by year and lecture. Many of the Medical Center Hour programs were recorded and are available for viewing. Presently the best way to search Medical Center Hour recordings is through Virgo, the UVA Library Catalog: search.lib.virginia.edu

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
