Why have the liberal arts been so valued in this country, both as a way to prepare for various professions, including careers in medicine, and as a necessary preparation for United States citizenship?  How does a broad-based course of study in subjects as diverse as literature, philosophy, mathematics, music, art, and social and physical sciences enhance the effectiveness of professionals in all fields and enrich our community?  In this talk, Rebecca Chopp will consider the current challenges to and opportunities afforded by the liberal arts in modern society.

Speaker: Rebecca Chopp, M.Div, PhD, President, Swarthmore College

The College of Physicians of Philadelphia



The College of Physicians of Philadelphia is the oldest medical society & the oldest steward of American Medicine, and is regarded as the “Birthplace of American Medicine”SM, offering insight into medicine’s past, present and future.

Our specimens, book collections, archives, personal journals and ephemera are more relevant today than ever – attracting more visitors and users of our collections and facilities than ever before in our history.

Dedicated to advancing the cause of health while upholding the ideals and heritage of medicine, the College remains an unbiased community resource without allegiance to one healthsystem, a particular educational institution or industry.

The College’s historical contributions to medicine are bolstered by our contemporary public health and education programs including PhillyHealthInfo.org, our comprehensive website. This website provides consumers with authoritative, current, and easy to understand health information, as well as phone numbers and locations of support services, programs and health events in their community.
