The College of Physicians of Philadelphia greeted more scholars, artists, and students than ever
before this year. Our increase in visitorship was due in large part to our compelling take on
the personal narratives and bodily experiences of Civil War soldiers, doctors, and nurses in our new
exhibition, Broken Bodies, Suffering Spirits: Injury, Death, and Healing in Civil War Philadelphia.
The exhibition has already been well-received by visitors and the
pressāThe New York Times featured an impressive half-page arti-
cle on the first page of their Science section.
This year we celebrated the 225th anniversary of our Historical
Medical Library with a timely discussion about the relevance of
print resources in the digital age. Our Library staff continued to
focus on expanding access to our
significant collections through two
important digitization projectsā
our partnership with Columbia
and Yale Universitiesā libraries and
the launch of our digital library.
Our educational programs en-
gaged thousands of students,
particularly those under-represent-
ed in science and healthcare careers, through STEM-intensive
(science, technology, engineering, and math) curricula. The entire
second cohort of our award-winning Karabots Junior Fellows Pro-
gram graduated from high school this year, and we look forward
to hearing more about their accomplishments in college.
Our Fellows, supporters, and friends play a vital role in the growth
of this institution. From serving as youth mentors to ambassadors for
our mission, our programs and services are exemplary because of
your support, guidance, and exper-
tise. We are exceedingly grateful to
all of our supporters who enable us
to provide public access to artifacts
and information that are rarely seen
outside of the medical profession.
Thank you for helping us to inspire
curiosity about, and interest in, sci-
ence and medicine.

In the Fall of 2013, the MĆ¼tter Museum opened its first new major permanent exhibition since
2003. Broken Bodies, Suffering Spirits: Injury, Death, and Healing in Civil War Philadelphia
examines the personal experiences of soldiers,
doctors, and nurses through a medical human-
ities lens. The College organized many relat-
ed programs that further explored themes from
Broken Bodies. Professor Natasha Trethewey,
former United States Poet Laureate, read from
her Pulitzer Prize-winning collection of poetry,
Native Guard. The title poem explores the leg-
acy of the Louisiana Native Guard, one of the
first regiments of black soldiers fighting for the
Union during the Civil War. We participated in a Civil War
field hospital in Cheltenham Township as part of the 150th
anniversary commemoration of Camp William Penn, the first
and largest training camp for black soldiers during the Civil War. The Collegeās second annual
Civil War Hospital Day was a huge success, featuring medi-
cal re-enactors and our Karabots Junior Fellows.
In May, the College announced the creation of the MĆ¼tter
Institute, dedicated to scientific and museological research
and consultation. The Institute will help link the historic with
the contemporary by establishing collaborations and partner-
ships with other historic, scientific, or medical institutions with
the goal of utilizing College collections to conduct research
relevant to 21st century human health.

In celebration of its 225th anniversary, our Historical Medical Library hosted a one-day
conference and reception, Emerging Roles for Historical Medical Libraries: Value in the
Digital Age. More than 250 people joined five distinguished speakers to explore the role of
print resources and physical libraries in a growing digital age.
This year we launched a digital library to share unique and rare images from our Library
collection: www.cppdigitallibrary.org. More than 1,250 images were added, with col-
lection strengths in the history of anatomy and medical botany. The digital library also features
the Collegeās first online exhibition, A Philadelphia Physician Encounters the Great War.
We also assumed the administration of a grant from the National Endowment
for the Humanities to digitize American Medical History journals, with
partners Columbia University Libraries/Information Services, and Yale
Universityās Cushing/Whitney Medical Library.

U tilizing the fascinating collections of the MĆ¼tter Museum and Historical Medical Library,
our Center for Education and Public Initiatives (CEPI) offers programming that celebrates
the human bodyāboth its potential and its limitations, prepares youth for fulfilling healthcare
careers, and addresses community consumer health needs ranging from stress and resiliency
to sexual health.
The College hosted a dance performance, which sold out both
nights, that explored the synergy between the arts and sciences
as we are so uniquely poised to do. Choreographer Jae Hoon
Limās Life Between drew inspiration from the MĆ¼tter to artfully
incorporate movements reminiscent of skeletal disorders.
CEPI continued to offer quality educational programming to
students, focusing efforts primarily on high school students from low income families and from
underserved schools. All students participating in the second cohort of our Karabots Junior
Fellows Program graduated from high school
with one student planning to join the Navy and
the rest attending college. This intensive three-
year program offers mentoring, STEM-based
(Science, Technology, Engineering and Math)
programming, and internships to prepare stu-
dents for college and healthcare careers. The Teva Pharmaceuticals Summer Internship
Program continued to focus on resiliency and coping skills, while also aligning with state
science curriculum standards.

HistoryofVaccines.org (HoV) received a prestigious certification from the World Health
Organizationās Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety and was added to its
approved vaccine information providers in Spanish.
Project Director Karie Youngdahl worked with a number of College Fellows to increase HoV
public health and community education efforts. We worked with a CDC officer placed at the
US Embassy in Mexico City
to conduct outreach there.
Youngdahl and College
Trustee Thomas Fekete, MD,
were guests on āInformation Is the Best Medicine,ā a weekly health topics radio call-in show
on WURD AM, the only African American owned and operated radio station in Pennsylvania.
We have also been collaborating with Fellow Harvey Rubin, MD, PhD, on his groundbreaking
work on extending the vaccine cold-chain in African countries. Dr. Rubinās group, Energize the
Chain, is partnering with a Zimbabwean
mobile communications company to use
electrical energy at cell phone towers to
power vaccine refrigerators.
Important new content was added to
HistoryofVaccines.org this year, including articles on varicella, herpes zoster, and the prom-
ise of immunotherapy for cancer treatment; blog posts; and more than 100 new images in
the Gallery.

The Benjamin Rush Medicinal Plant Garden underwent a major transformation during the
past year. Our new Sir John Templeton Veranda provides a seamless bridge from the
MĆ¼tterāa museum of once-living objectsā to the garden, a complementary living exhibit
that showcases the importance of plants to our health. Through our garden, we help visitors
understand the historical sources of medicinal remedies, and our plants have fascinating stories
to tell. Visitors learn, for instance, that foxglove is the source of the early cardiac āwonder drugā
Digitalis or that pennyroyal was advocated as a plague repellent in the Middle Ages.
Building on two generous gifts received in December 2013, an endowment fund has been
established to ensure that this beautiful urban oasis remains for years to come.
