(AGENPARL) – TOLEDO (OHIO) lun 03 aprile 2023

As part of its 150th anniversary celebration, The University of Toledo is presenting “Medical Education in Toledo: 140 Years of Progress,” a lecture by Barbara Floyd, UToledo professor emerita and author of “An Institution for the Promoting of Knowledge: The University of Toledo at 150.”

The free, public talk will examine the first medical school established in 1882, the founding of the Medical College of Ohio in 1964 and its merger with The University of Toledo in 2006.

The event is from 4 to 5 p.m. Thursday, April 20, in Health Education Building Room 105 on Health Science Campus.

When the Medical University of Ohio merged with UToledo in 2006, the combined institution was seen as something brand new, Floyd said, but this was the second time a medical college had merged with the University. From 1904 to 1918, UToledo and a school called the Toledo Medical College were one. When that school closed in 1918 due to financial constraints and demands for improving medical education and licensing physicians, medical education ended in Toledo until 1964.

In addition to the lecture, The Ward M. Canaday Center’s exhibit commemorating UToledo’s sesquicentennial, “Faith, Vision, and Hard Work: The University of Toledo, 1872-2022,” can be experienced on Health Science Campus in a display that features UToledo’s historical timeline, reproductions of photographs and documents following the institution’s trajectory from the 1872 Articles of Incorporation through today, and trivia.

The satellite exhibit is open and available for viewing until Monday, May 8, in the walkway that connects the Frederic and Mary Wolfe Center to the Mulford Library Building.

The full exhibit in the Canaday Center runs until Tuesday, Aug. 1. Viewing hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Both displays are free and open to the public.
