    AbstractSupport for generalism is underpinned by more than 100 years of writings and these writings point to writers and thinkers who have grappled with the tensions between generalism and specialism since ancient Egyptian times. Taking a historical stance we make the case that generalism is here to stay. But, what does the future hold? We outline some ideas for growing generalism in the wake of smart technologies, personalised medicine and the deluge of ever increasing health information.
