SUMMARY

Sketch of the original Duke University Medical Center

This semester I have spent countless hours in the archives trying to discover the history behind the creation of the medical center at Duke University. My research specifically focused on the influence of other medical schools in the world on the construction of Duke’s hospital and medical school. I created a Story Map using Esri to explain the story behind and construction of the medical center up to the time it opened to the public in 1930.
