Abstract

Surgeons have, from the earliest times, had an obligation to teach their craft. Hippocrates instructed: “…teach them this art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or stipulation; and that by precept, lecture, and every other mode of instruction.” Rembrandt’s  anatomy Lesson (Figure 1) builds on Hippocrates’ injunction to teach. Note how engrossed the students are in Dr Tulp’s demonstration.
