Although we don’t often think about it, changes in society can have profound impacts on patterns of disease.  In fact, our seemingly ordinary life choices can have harmful and lasting effects on the health of our communities.  In this colorful, story-filled talk, Dr. Lorber uses real-life examples to show how travel, dietary patterns, use of leisure time, sexual behavior, medical progress, alternative medicine, the weather, and even politics can change patterns of infectious diseases.


Speaker: Bennett Lorber, MD, FCPP, MACP, Thomas M. Durant Professor of Medicine and Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at the Temple University School of Medicine; President of The College of Physicians of Philadelphia

The College of Physicians of Philadelphia



The College of Physicians of Philadelphia is the oldest medical society & the oldest steward of American Medicine, and is regarded as the “Birthplace of American Medicine”SM, offering insight into medicine’s past, present and future.

Our specimens, book collections, archives, personal journals and ephemera are more relevant today than ever – attracting more visitors and users of our collections and facilities than ever before in our history.

Dedicated to advancing the cause of health while upholding the ideals and heritage of medicine, the College remains an unbiased community resource without allegiance to one healthsystem, a particular educational institution or industry.

The College’s historical contributions to medicine are bolstered by our contemporary public health and education programs including PhillyHealthInfo.org, our comprehensive website. This website provides consumers with authoritative, current, and easy to understand health information, as well as phone numbers and locations of support services, programs and health events in their community.
