RG02. School of Medicine

The School of Medicine Alumni Association donated a collection of framed black and white portraits of past Alumni Association presidents in the period 1913-1987.

The Department of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology (DMICE) Records consist of comparative effectiveness reviews created and published by DMICE (OHSU Department of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology) during the years 2005-2008 on the usage of pharmaceuticals and other treatments for health conditions, diseases, and mental illness, including diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, hypertension, and depression.

The Medical Faculty Auxiliary (MFA) of the School of Medicine at OHSU donated these materials in 1997, upon the 50th Anniversary of its creation. Long known (1947-85) as the "Faculty Wives Club" it has a long history of being both a social network for spouses and "significant others" of medical students and personnel and a source of fund-raising and volunteerism for various things not covered in budgets. The collection expands on those activities.

The collection contains minutes of the UOMS Executive Faculty spanning 1969-1973, including attached documents, policies, proposals and correspondence.

A set of records was created by the newly established UOMS Alumnni Association in 1913. They were assembled into a bound volume of miscellaneous materials dated 1913-1931, although some records date to 1940. A later accrual added many lists of association members and recipients of various awards.

This collection contains the meeting minutes of the University of Oregon Board of Regents Medical School Committee in the years 1926-29.

The material is mostly cumulative hospital and clinic statistics from 1945 to 1975. Also included are studies and surveys on the Outpatient Clinic, a patient file, a historical University hospital timeline, and other records.

UOMS Dept. of Nursing held clerkships during WWII, which has been defined as "Clinical clerkship: Full-time supervised learning experience in a clinical setting". Several patient studies were made by nurses. Eight of them are included here.

Clerkships were required of University of Oregon Medical School general surgery students during their third and fourth years of school. The materials consist of senior papers written by UOMS students on a variety of topics pertaining to medical illnesses, diagnoses, and treatments during their final year of surgical clerkships.

This small collection contains a variety of information of historical interest regarding the early years of the University of Oregon Medical School.
