A Renewed Commitment:
The Army Medical Museum, after a period as the Medical Museum of the AFIP and the Armed Forced Medical Museum, became the National Museum of Health and Medicine in 1988. Recalling its origin during the crisis of the Civil War, the Museum resolved to return to its national role of confronting contemporary health issues. Today, as in World War I, the Museum is reaching out in new directions, to new audiences, with new techniques for educating health professionals as well as the public. |
