On March 23, Club Med tentatively plans to visit the Indiana Medical History Museum, according to Omeed Malek, Club Med president and senior. Transportation will be provided, and students will take a guided tour throughout the museum.

According to Malek, Club Med will visit antique labs at the museum, which was a former 1900 mental institution. There will be labs for operating, dissecting and euthanasia.

“(Students) will understand what laboratories looked like back then. They look so cool and antique . . . It’s something you only see pictures of; that’s why it’s so special to visit,” Malek said. He also said he hopes the visit will inform Club Med members of how mental medicine has changed over time.

According to Malek, these plans are only tentative, as the previously set date, March 28, was canceled.

“The school did not allow Club Med to take a field trip during school hours. That’s why we had to cancel our visit on March 28, because it was during the school day,” Club Med sponsor Sarah Gillim said.

According to Malek, however, the date will only be rescheduled and the trip itself will still occur. Malek said the visits are very enjoyable, and have been continuing for the past two years.

“(These visits) give a blissful sense of stepping into a time machine and experiencing science where it actually occurred in the past century―not in some massive, modern, avant-garde museum that merely has simulations and pictures of what it would have looked like,” Malek said. “This is the real deal.”
