Holman, Halsted R.
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Halsted Holman was born in San Francisco to two Stanford Medicine professors. He was the first chairman of the Department of Medicine when the school moved from San Francisco to Palo Alto. He spearheaded staffing the new department and was given ample funding and space. At this time, academic medicine was transitioning from a clinical focus to a research base, so many of the hires Holman made were young men like himself. Holman was also politically active and blacklisted during the McCarthy era for his organizing work, primarily with student organizations on the East Coast and in Europe. He developed an interest in patient self-care and medical education and directed the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Clinical Scholar Training Program from 1969 (its inception) to 1996. During the interview, Holman described both his professional and political activities.
