The Role of the Research Physician: From Golden Past to Threatened Future?
The Office of History, National Institutes of Health, is pleased to announce a conference
March 26-27, 2009
The Cloisters, Building 60,
National Institutes of Health,
Bethesda, MD.
FREE to REGISTRANTS
All are Welcome
Physicians who devote themselves to biomedical research have played crucial roles in the development of scientific medicine for more than 100 years. A variety of institutions—hospitals, medical foundations, the Public Health Service, most notably the NIH, universities, and pharmaceutical companies—have supported their research. Since the ‘Golden Era’ of physician-scientists — roughly 1950 to the mid-1970s — leaders in each research context have expressed increasing concern about the ability of physician-scientists to sustain themselves and their research tradition.
This conference brings together for the first time leading physician researchers, organizational leaders, historians, and social scientists for a multi-disciplinary exploration of the physician-scientist research tradition, its changing contours, and the challenges and opportunities it faces going forward. It seeks to elucidate the many different meanings of the term ‘research physician,’ whether there ever was a ‘golden past,’ and if the future is really so bleak as the title of this meeting suggests.
Speakers and commentators include:
Barbara Alving, Director, National Center for Research Resources (NCRR)
Alberto Cambrosio, Chair, Social Studies of Medicine, McGill University
Elaine K. Gallin, Program Director for Medical Research, Doris Duke Charitable Foundation
Michael Gottesman, Director, Office of Intramural Research, National Institutes of Health
Raynard S. Kington, Acting Director, National Institutes of Health
David Korn, Vice Provost for Research, Harvard University; Professor of Pathology, Harvard Medical School
Kenneth M. Ludmerer, Professor of History and of Biostatistics, Washington University in St. Louis

The Annual History of Medicine Cruise
The cruise includes a number of talks on the History of Medicine from experienced lecturers and private escorted shore excursions to sites of medical historical interest. I have been organizing the cruise since 2003. Details on the 2009 cruise in the Mediterranean and Black Sea are available at www.jonbainestours.co.uk/hmed.
I am sure that the cruise would be of interest to those with an interest in the history of medicine. This year we have an excellent group of speakers including Dr Bill Bynum, Helen Bynum, Mick Crumplin and Peter Burke. Full details on the speakers are available on the cruise brochure which can be downloaded from the cruise web site. In addition to the planned talks the cruise provides an open forum where participants can speak on an subject of their choice. In the past this has proved extremely popular with some outstanding talks.
