000003194 520__ $$aThis transcript consists of two separate interview sessions with Dr. Michael Baird: the first interview recalls memories of Baird's father, David W. E. Baird, who was Dean of the Medical School from 1943 to 1968. David Baird was raised in Baker, Oregon, and Dr. Michael Baird briefly recounts his father's and family's histories, leading up to his father attending the University of Oregon Medical School to pursue a career in medicine. He married in 1926, and during this time he interned at the Multnomah County Hospital. He completed a residency year before entering private practice and began his UOMS tenure as a part-time faculty member in 1927. Dr. David Baird's role in the building of the University Hospital (and the controversy which arose around this project) is also recounted. Dr. Michael Baird states it was his father's anticipation for changes over time in medicine that helped realize the building of the teaching hospital, and the subsequent growth in research, full-time faculty, and pioneering medical professionals associating themselves with UOMS helped change and modernize the medical school curriculum.

The second interview discusses Dr. Michael Baird's own life, in which he talks about his medical education, internship, and residency at the University of Oregon Medical School during the 1950s, and his experience as a faculty member for seven years before becoming medical director and administrator of the hospitals and clinics, after which he went into private practice. He relates anecdotes about the Medical School during the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and its change into the University of Oregon Health Sciences Center in 1974. He talks about many people he knew or worked with, including Dean Richard Dillehunt, UOHSC President Lewis Bluemle, Charles Dotter, Mark Hatfield, Dean Charles Holman, President Leonard Laster, President Peter Kohler, Olof Larsell, Edwin Osgood, Albert Starr, Kenneth Swan, George Saslow, David Witter and Adolph Weinzirlf.
