Class Field Trip
Thanks to School of Medicine leadership, this year, each group in the Behavioral Sciences course took a trip to Glore Psychiatric Museum in St. Joseph, Missouri. This museum is a local hidden gem that is actually the largest psychiatric museum in the world. It contains an incredible collection of exhibits chronicling the evolution of mental health care, from archaic treatments such as a human hamster wheel, to the more modern approaches used today. The Glore has been featured on several TV networks and has gained recognition as “one of the 50 most unusual museums in the country.” This trip not only provided a wonderful opportunity for students to learn about historical perspectives and advancements in mental health care, but also provided a rare opportunity for students at both the Kansas City and St. Joseph campuses to get to know each other. All photos were taken by Trenton Myers, M.D., assistant professor of pediatrics and psychiatry.
