Guenter B. Risse (born 28 April 1932) is an American medical historian. He has written numerous books, including his most recent "Plague, Fear & Politics in San Francisco's Chinatown." The American Association for the History of Medicine awarded him the 1988 William H. Welch Medal for his book ''Hospital Life in Enlightenment Scotland'' and its Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005. He is Professor Emeritus, Department of Anthropology, History and Social Medicine, at the University of California, San Francisco, and currently Affiliate Professor of Bioethics and Humanities at the University of Washington in Seattle.
==Education==
Risse is a native of Buenos Aires, Argentina where he obtained his baccalaureate degree from the Colegio Nacional in 1951 prior to gaining admission to the University of Buenos Aires School of Medicine. Following graduation with a magna cum laude M.D. in 1958, he came to the US to complete an internship and training in internal medicine.〔Dr. Risse's poignant recollections of his early medical education and experiences in various hospitals in Buenos Aires and then in the United States are recounted in his preface to Guenter Risse, ''Mending Bodies—Saving Souls: A History of Hospitals'' (New York: Oxford University Press, 1999), pp. xiii-xviii.〕
In 1962, Risse returned to the classroom, following admission to the University of Chicago. Originally enrolled at the Oriental Institute, he studied ancient Egyptian culture and language under the direction of the distinguished Egyptologist John Wilson. A 1965 plan to participate in an excavation project in Saqqara near the suspected tomb of Imhotep, the ancient god of healing, was not approved by the Egypt Exploration Fund because the dig was restricted to trained archeologists.〔Walter Emery, Professor of Egyptology at University College London, conducted the excavations during the 1960s, publishing only a handful of preliminary reports before his death in 1971. To this day, Imhotep's tomb has not been found.〕 Such an outcome and shifts in excavation plans following UNESCO's call to save Nubian monuments from the impending flooding caused by the new Aswan Dam, induced him to transfer to the History Department. Here he worked under Professors Allen G. Debus and Lester S. King, obtaining his Ph.D. in 1971. His dissertation dealt with eighteenth-century medical systems, notably the theories of the Scottish physician John Brown and their impact in Germany during the early 1800s.〔"The History of John Brown's Medical System in Germany during the Years 1790-1806," Ph.D. dissertation, Department of History, University of Chicago, 1971.〕
