1. Schrier, Stanley L

Title:
Schrier, Stanley L.
Author:
Schrier, Stanley L. and Pantell, Laurie
Corporate Author:
Stanford Historical Society
Description:
Stanley L. Schrier recalls his early life growing up in the East Bronx during the Great Depression. He decided he wanted to become a doctor by age six and eventually attended Bronx High School of Science where he was intellectually challenged and encountered excellent teachers. Schrier talked about his education then at New York University and at the University of Colorado where he transferred. In spite of rejections by medical schools due to Jewish quotas, Schrier was eventually accepted at Johns Hopkins where he found his way to hematology. Schrier discusses his career at Stanford since 1959 when he became an instructor of medicine and hematology, just when the Stanford Medical School was moving from San Francisco to Palo Alto. He speaks with satisfaction all aspects of his role at Stanford, including research, patient care and mentoring, as well as his role as Chief of the Division of Hematology for over 26 years, during which he focused on developing expertise in the division and developing good teachers. Schrier discusses his research focus on the red blood disease, Thalassemia, and the sabbaticals he took in Italy, Israel and Thailand in order to study the disease. He also discusses his research in anemia in the elderly since retirement.

2. The Stanford School of Medicine’s Move from San Francisco to the Stanford Campus: Rationale, Controversies, and Impacts

Title:
The Stanford School of Medicine’s Move from San Francisco to the Stanford Campus: Rationale, Controversies, and Impacts.
Author:
Abrams, Herbert L., Berg, Paul, Mark, James B. D., Schrier, Stanley L., and Sunshine, Philip
Corporate Author:

Description:
In this oral history, five distinguished professors at the Stanford University School of Medicine--Hebert L. Abrams, Paul Berg, James B. D. Mark, Stanley L. Schrier, and Philip Sunshine--discussed the Medical School’s move from San Francisco to the Stanford campus in 1959 and its implications. They described the new format for medical education envisioned by the university president and the Board of Trustees, the impact of the integration of the teaching and clinical operations on the Stanford campus, and how Stanford gained a reputation for innovative, high-quality medical care. The panelists discussed the forces behind this move: the Flexner Report on medical education in the United States and Canada and the university’s assessment of its program’s condition after World War II. They also talked about the challenges the Medical School faced as a result of the move, including the creation of an adequate patient base to ensure the success of the medical school and hospital (which occasioned hostility from local physicians, hospitals and clinics) and the need to recruit faculty, physicians, and researchers. In the course of the discussion, the panelists also addressed differences among their departments regarding the sharing of research resources.
