Harris L. Coulter, PhD (October 8, 1932 - ) is a medical historian and lecturer who has published in many areas including homeopathic medicine, cancer, and what he regards as the dangers of vaccinations. Coulter earned his PhD in 1969 from Columbia University, NY, in a dissertation entitled Political and Social Aspects of Nineteenth-Century Medicine in the United States: The Formation of the American Medical Association and its Struggle with the Homeopathic and Eclectic Physicians. Coulter has been considered "the leading homeopathic historian of the late 20th century."[1]

Coulter's most significant body of work is his four-volume treatise on the history of Western medicine, Divided Legacy: A History of the Schism in Medical Thought, which details to two distinct schools of medical thought and practice since the times of Hippocrates to the present: the rational approach and the empirical approach as observed in the history of philosphy.

Coulter has served on numerous medical advisory panels and boards, and has given input about the conflict between the American Medical Association (AMA) and homeopathy. From 1965 to 1975, Coulter was the director of publications for the American Foundation for Homeopathy, and from 1983 to 1989, he served on the editorial board of the Journal of the American Institute of Homeopathy. Coulter was also an advisory board member of the Campaign Against Fraudulent Medical Research. Coulter is fluent in German, French, Spanish, Latin, Russian, Hungarian, and Serbo-Croatian.

Coulter's views have been criticized, for example concerning his ideas about the dangers of vaccination.[2]
