University medicine is surrounded by a variety of different social connections which extend well beyond the internal perspective of clinics, research and teaching. Through its day-to-day work, university medicine is part of a tightly knit system of references between many different disciplines. Nevertheless, there are few analyses in the literature which undertake an attempt to place child medicine within its fields of reference to architecture, economics, history or philosophy. The current reformation of pediatrics at the LMU invites a closer examination of the fundamentals of child medicine and a concerted attempt to make these fruitful for the future of the discipline. | Center for Advanced Studies: 10.01.2013 | Speaker: Prof. Julie R.
