Litt, Iris F.
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Iris Litt begins the interview by discussing where she grew up and her family background. She describes how she became interested in medicine and her father’s initial reservations about her being a doctor because she was a woman. She explains her research on adolescent medicine and talks about how she worked at the Juvenile Detention Center after attending medical school in New York. She recreated a medical screening program for youths at the center and recreated it at the Rikers Island Prison. Litt explains that she came to Stanford University in 1976 to start the Division of Adolescent Medicine within the Department of Pediatrics.
