Physicians trained in apprenticeships and relied on the support of family money, community funds, public appointments, and patronage to advance their careers. They competed against each other as well as against practitioners from a variety of faith- and magic-based approaches to healing. The Hippocratic tradition and the works of Galen bookend the sources; what Hippocrates and his followers began with their rationalizing theories Galen codified into an eclectic approach to anatomy and healing that dominated Western thought for over a millennium. Between these two points, physicians embraced a variety of "schools" or theoretical approaches to the body. The schools best known to us are the Dogmatic (adhering to a 4-humor model), Pneumatic (similar to Dogmatism, but proposing pneuma or "breath" as the driving force behind the body's function), Empiricist (promoting an evidence-based approach independent from unprovable theory), and Methodist (who explained the body's function with the flow of fine particles through pores).

There are few places in the world that can combine a bustling metropolis – complete with unique neighborhoods, state of the art museums, and a history dating back to the Gold Rush – with an awe-inspiring natural landscape.
