The title H&P reflects the importance of the basic history and physical examination in clinical medicine in every corner of the world. It also represents Hygeia and Panacea, two daughters of Asclepius. In Greek mythology, Hygeia is the goddess of welfare and the prevention of sickness, while Panacea is the goddess of healing and cures. We believe that these figure represent the two facets of our medical education—to treat and cure illnesses while promoting the welfare of our patients by preventing disease. H&P also represents the ideals of creativity and innovation—as the daughters of Asclepius, Hygeia and Panacea represent a new generation.
