Hippocrates staat bekend als een sleutelfiguur in de geschiedenis van de geneeskunde, gecrediteerd voor de oprichting van een medische school die de discipline in het oude Griekenland fundamenteel heeft hervormd. Zijn nalatenschap is diep verweven met de corpus van medische teksten die zijn naam dragen en die het begrip en de praktijk van genezing hebben gerevolutioneerd. Hoewel precieze details van zijn persoonlijke leven en gedachten ongrijpbaar blijven, wordt hij algemeen beschouwd als het archetype van de antieke geneesheer. Hij wordt geprezen voor het bevorderen van de systematische studie van de klinische geneeskunde en voor het formuleren van blijvende principes die de medische praktijk blijven beïnvloeden.
