Medical students from Queen’s Meds 2015, 2014 and 2013 visited the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland on Nov. 5th. NLM is the largest medical library in the world–home of Medline, Pubmed and inventor of MESH headings. This visit was part of the 13th annual HIstory of Medicine Field Trip–for the first time to Washington DC (see previous History of Medicine field trips). In the photo, the 55 medical students and Dr. Jacalyn Duffin, Hannah Chair, History of Medicine, had just spent two hours visiting the Historical Collections with Stephen Greenberg. Dr. Greenberg is Coordinator of Public Services, History of Medicine Division at the National Library of Medicine.
