Many lectures from the University of Virginia are available through the U.Va podcast. But individual lecture series are beginning to develop their own specialized podcast feeds as well. One such is the History of the Health Sciences series, produced by the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library and the University of Virginia School of Medicine Continuing Medical Education Program. The most recent lecture is available here. It’s a talk by Duke University’s Margaret Humphreys about the health of the 180,000 African-Americans who joined the Union Army during the Civil War.
