Studying History Shaped Dr. Hayder Ali’s (BA ’16) Approach to Medicine

To Dr. Hayder Ali, a UH History alumnus (2016) turned physician, the study of history is essential to understanding “our collective experience as a species” and making sense of our present times: “The value is as self-evident as the value of memory to a human person, except that the study of history requires active investigation, the seeking of evidence, analysis, building and falsifying theories – it is both an empirical and very human venture.”
