"Journal of the History of Medicine" Why Yale Supplement

What in particular about Yale has influenced your decision to apply? (500 characters available)

Ever since I perused volumes of the Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences, I became captivated by this area of academic inquiry. Reading about the therapeutic revolution and other histories led to my discovery of Yale's History of Science and Medicine program, which, in turn, ignited my interest in Yale itself. Vicariously, I have engaged in the intense yet collaborative intellectual climate, the student initiatives supported by Dwight Hall, and all that makes Yale unique.
