Celebrating the Dr. Thomas Bashore Collection

Please join us on Wednesday, October 29, at 4:30 p.m. to celebrate the Thomas Bashore Collection, a recent acquisition of fantastic historical medical instruments and artifacts (exhibit in adjacent spaces including the Josiah Charles Trent History of Medicine Room.)

The History of Medicine Collections recently received the Thomas Bashore, M.D., Collection of Artifacts. Dr. Bashore is Professor Emeritus of Medicine at the Duke University Medical School, where he specialized in treatment of cardiovascular conditions and congenital heart disease. He first began collecting historic medical artifacts, such as mechanical devices relating to electrotherapy and cardiology, and expanded his collection to include fringe medical instruments and treatments.

All are welcome to attend. Please feel free to share widely.
