Here are the lessons available for the Medieval period. We will examine how medical understanding developed through the medieval period specifically looking at the Black Death and the fall of the Roman Empire. We will contrast this with the developments in the East. 

We will cover the following significant individuals and events.

How did the fall of the Roman Empire affect medical understanding in the West? 
What changed? 
Was there continuity or regression?
10 - The Black Death

11 - Importance of the Church

This lesson will focus on the importance of the Church. How much of a factor was it in the development of medicine. Did it help or did it hinder progress?

You need to decide.
