Olmsted discusses his career, including his twelve years as head of the Department of Pediatrics at OHSU. He begins with his early life and education in Connecticut. After enrolling in Harvard Medical School, he found he was unable to tie surgical knots and 襰cared stiff� in obstetrics, so he turned to pediatrics instead. He speaks of his internship and residency at Yale University. His attempt at private practice having failed, he spent seven years at Temple University, before arriving at UOMS as Head of Pediatrics in 1962. He talks of expanding full-time faculty, the residency program, the pediatric outpatient clinic, and the volunteer practitioners' program. Later he joined the American Academy of Pediatrics, studied tropical medicine, and worked in Jamaica. He returned to OHSU in 1988 as a resident in child psychiatry. He served as Emeritus faculty, contributing his talents to the University until his death in 2013. 000003241 540__ $$fCC BY-NC 000003241 542__ $$fIn Copyright - Educational Use Permitted 000003241 650__ $$aPediatrics$$023687 000003241 650__ $$aTropical Medicine$$027425 000003241 650__ $$aPhysicians$$024116 000003241 650__ $$aChild Psychiatry$$016479 000003241 691__ $$aOregon Health & Science University.
