How Did the Renaissance Change Man's View of the World? The Renaissance era. Most of us know this time period as the one where painters just simply painted, scientists made their horrible discoveries that we are forced to learn about in our science classes, and authors wrote long plays that could put a room full of hyper kids to sleep. Many of us, however, do not realize the impact this movement has on our lives in the present day. The Renaissance started in early 1300, and lasted for the next 300

Medicine has become so advanced in the previous centuries that it is a wonder how the medical discoveries of today have been fueled by those made during the Renaissance. As the mindset of those living in Europe during that time changed from religion to self-discovery, medical research began to expand and grow to a more scientific approach.

Healthcare by far is one of the most modified careers ever established. There is no doubt that things are always changing. From the rules and procedures, to the equipment, and medicine,the need to keep evolving will always be needed. As the years advance the quality of care will grow as well.
