Abstract | Dr. George Patrick Guiteras is a doctor currently practicing in Chapel Hill. Dr. Guiteras speaks about his upbringing in Gainesville, Fla., highlighting his family's physician heritage and how that affected his youth. His path through high school, Sewanee College, and the University of North Carolina School of Medicine were deeply elaborated on. Key differences about being a “pre-med”, applying to medical school, and attending medical school in the 1960s were thoroughly explained. Dr. Guiteras provides further insight into the atmosphere of UNC during the 1960s, his training in Canada, and his transition into being a private practitioner. Current issues in health care and clinic management were also highlighted. |
