Sandblomdagen 2025

Philip Sandblom, prominent surgeon and Vice-Chancellor of Lund University 1957-68, combined his great interest in art with medical research. His widow, Grace, took the initiative to create a fund for a yearly Sandblom Day. The Sandblom Day is always held in connection with Philip Sandblom's birthday and, in the true spirit of Professor Sandblom, always unites the humanities and medicine. Welcome to this year's Sandblomdag at Forum Medicum, Sölvegatan 19 in Lund.
