Branding Asklepios and the Traditional and Variant Serpent Symbol Display Among Health Professional Schools in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada: A Cross-Sectional Survey

Branding Asklepios and the Traditional and Variant Serpent Symbol Display Among Health Professional Schools in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada: A Cross-Sectional Survey

Health professional schools can brand their unique mission by displaying an asklepian alongside their university acronyms or insignia. This cross-sectional study identified current symbol display, but it could not distinguish current from past symbol display. It could not identify symbol selection or change over time. For example, the Association of American Medical Colleges' emblem has changed at least twice since 1970, culminating in the current variant asklepian (Figure 2, j [37] and k [38]).
