Teaching the history of epidemics remains a critical mission of our profession, both inside and outside of the classroom. Charles E. Rosenberg's "dramaturgical model" of epidemic response endures as a useful and flexible heuristic. Through guided discussion of the dramaturgical model, students can develop a shared vocabulary and a working theory of epidemic responses through time. Students can apply the model, then revise and refine it for themselves through writing assignments and careful comparisons of epidemics in different times, places, and populations. Special consideration must be given to teaching the history of epidemics during the present SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
教授传染病的历史仍然是我们专业的一项重要任务，无论是在课堂内还是课堂外。查尔斯·罗森伯格（Charles E. Rosenberg）的传染病反应“戏剧模型”仍然是一个有用且灵活的启发式方法。通过对戏剧模型的引导性讨论，学生可以通过时间的推移发展出一种关于传染病反应的共同词汇和工作理论。学生可以应用该模型，然后通过写作任务和对不同时间、地点和人群中的传染病进行仔细比较，自行修改和完善该模型。在当前的 SARS-CoV-2 大流行期间，必须特别考虑教授传染病的历史。
