UAB Anesthesia Creates History of
Anesthesia Section 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, and assisted by Maurice S. Albin, M.D., M.Sc. (Anes), 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 and 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 Doctor's Day is also being planned. The HOA Section web page is at http://www.anes.uab.edu/hoasection.htm
