Academics and History: UAB
Creates History of Anesthesia Section
David Chestnut, M.D
|
David Chestnut, M.D., Professor and Chair of the Department of
Anesthesiology, University of Alabama School of Medicine in Birmingham,
is pleased to announce the formation of the History of Anesthesiology
Section within the department's Education Division. This Section
will be directed by A.J. Wright, M.L.S., Associate Professor of
Anesthesiology, assisted by Maurice S. Albin, M.D., Professor,
and Mark A. Mandabach, M.D., Assistant Professor.
The mission of this Section includes several goals. The first
is to expose anesthesiology residents, fellows, faculty, medical
students and the general public to the historical developments
behind the progress in anesthesiology. A second goal is to enable
our residents, fellows and faculty to participate in more advanced
studies concerning anesthesia history. Finally, the Section plans
to develop ties with scholars in the humanities to gain other
perspectives in historical research.
These goals will be accomplished through lectures, exhibits,
research in local and other archives, libraries and publications.
One of the first projects planned by Section members is to develop
a basic History of Anesthesia reading list of primary and secondary
materials designed for use by residents and any other interested
parties. A combination of lectures and exhibits in March 2003
in conjunction with Doctors Day is also being planned.
