Health in Space: Daring to Explore Traveling Exhibition

The International College of Surgeonswas founded by Dr. Max Thorek at a time of extreme nationalism, racial and religious hatreds and divisions leading to World War.  Dr. Thorek's vision was of a College which would bring surgeons of all nations and peoples together to build a force for International understanding,  good will and peaceful development of the art and science of surgery.
