1:30 pm – 4:00 pm
CU Anschutz Medical Campus | Fulginiti Pavilion for Bioethics
13080 E. 19th Ave. | Aurora, CO 80045
Description: The Health Sciences Library has been an essential part of the history and development of the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. The library is the physical and digital hub of knowledge—coordinating access to information in support of learning, research, clinical care, and service to the community. It is also renowned for its Rare Materials Collection consisting of nearly 5,000 books and serial titles on all aspects of medicine published between 1483 and 2014, most of them from the 19th century. Join your classmates, fellow alumni, and friends for a behind the scenes look at the library; centuries-old books will also be on display, including works by Andreas Vesalius, Charles Darwin, Govard Bidloo, and many more. The Center for Human Simulation (CHS) is a synthesis of human anatomy and computed imaging. This resulted in a three-dimensional, high resolution database of human male and female anatomy (the Visible Human) as derived from direct analysis of anatomical specimens and radiological imaging. The general purpose of this Center is to facilitate the collaboration of anatomists, radiologists, computer scientists, engineers, physicians and educators to promote the application of this and other anatomical data to basic and clinical research. The goal of this research training program is to educate the anatomist of the 21st Century.
The Center for Advancing Professional Excellence (CAPE) is housed in an 18,000-square-foot space at CU Anschutz. This space includes 15 examination rooms, 3 consult rooms, and 4 high-fidelity simulation rooms that can function as an OR, ER, hospital room, ICU, labor and delivery suite and apartment. The CAPE space allows medical students and clinicians to perform small and large scale educational and assessment activities using standardized patients and high-fidelity mannequins, and tools for health profession learners across the spectrum of training—setting new, national standards and transforming medical education in the 21st Century.

Description: The 1883 Society Luncheon is an annual gathering of classes that have celebrated their 50th Anniversary of graduating from medical school. This year the Association will induct the Class of 1967 and welcome Joseph Gal, PhD as our guest lecturer. Joseph Gal, PhD, is professor of medicine and pathology at the CU School of Medicine and is Director of the Toxicology Section of University of Colorado Hospital’s Clinical Laboratories. His scholarly activities focus on the history of science, with specific focus on Louis Pasteur’s work as a chemist and on the history of chemical warfare.
Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) is well known for his scientific discoveries. However, it is a little-appreciated fact that he was a talented graphic artist who, as a young man, produced dozens of fine images, mostly portraits. Although at age 20 he stopped working as an artist, he retained a lifelong interest in the arts and was a patron of the arts. Moreover, his artistic talents likely played a key role in his first major scientific discovery. This presentation will trace the artistic genius of one of history’s preeminent scientific thinkers.
