Celebrating our History, Shaping the Future: The Massachusetts Medical Society 225th Anniversary Commemorative DVD

For 225 years, the physicians of the Massachusetts Medical Society worked towards a common goal: improving the quality of medicine while upholding the highest professional standards.

Celebrating our History, Shaping the Future is the story of a society of physicians continually striving to put patients first. The film showcases a range of personalities through the three main eras of the Massachusetts Medical Society -- men and women who joined their colleagues to face challenges, envision new possibilities, and shape the course of modern medicine. While much has changed, it is clear that the Massachusetts Medical Society and its guiding principles are as relevant today as they were 225 years ago.

Featuring expert commentary, historical reenactments, and archival documents, Celebrating our History, Shaping the Future is organized into three main eras:
