Records created by the Office of Associate Dean for Postgraduate Education during the tenure of Dr. José Ferrer, 1973-1982. The records document Ferrer's investigations into possible residency opportunities at hospitals with which P&S was discussing affiliation agreements. The records provide a snapshot of the state of medical postgraduate training and education at a diverse group of community hospitals in the metropolitan New York area in the 1970s.
History and Biography
Associate Deans, of which there were usually several at any given time, assisted the Dean of the College of Physicians & Surgeons in managing the affairs of the medical school. The office was first established in the early 20th century. Associate Deans often, though not invariably, were responsible for a specific area such as admissions or postgraduate education.
Organization
Records created by the Office of Associate Dean for Postgraduate Education during the tenure of Dr. José M. Ferrer, 1973-1982. The records document Ferrer’s investigations into possible residency opportunities at hospitals with which P&S was discussing affiliation agreements. The records provide a snapshot of the state of medical postgraduate training and education at a diverse group of community hospitals in the metropolitan New York area.
Materials for each hospital vary widely but may include correspondence; Ferrer’s notes on his visits; questionnaires; and hospital publications, including newsletters and annual reports. The best-documented hospital here is Overlook Hospital in Summit, N.J. with which P&S forged an affiliation that is still in effect as of the writing of this guide.
