    AbstractThe origin of modern social medicine, represented by Hygiene and Public Health, can be traced back to the European social medicines, products of their social mobilization after the Industrial Revolution. Nevertheless, mainstream current social medicines, and particularly their primal source of research methodology, US public health schools, are not, seemingly, faithful successors of the originator in their inclination toward biological reductionism and market economy. This paper, for the purpose of bridging this gap, surveys the rising of European social medicines and illustrates the history of US public health schools, clarifying their academic discontinuation in the early 20th century.
