Project description | These interviews were conducted by students at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine during the fall 2014 semester as an assignment for Dr. Raul Necochea's seminar. The students interviewed clinicians who attended medical school at UNC in the 1950s-1970s. These interviews seek to provide perspective on how definitions of medical competence and professionalism change and remain over time and serve as institutional memory of the UNCSOM. |

Abstract | Dr. Herbert Cooper, MD, a retired pediatric oncologist in Chapel Hill, N.C., shares memories and advice accrued in his life time. Dr. Cooper knew from a young age he wanted to be a doctor, and despite constantly moving around as child he never lost sight of his goal. While his financial situation largely dictated his medical school decision, he was able to rely on his merit to train and work at premiere institutions such as the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota and Union Memorial in Baltimore, Maryland. He has had an interesting career that includes serving in Vietnam War, doing solely research for nearly twenty years, and doing clinical work another twenty years post research. He discusses his family, his legacy, and his words of wisdom reflecting upon how medicine has changed over the years. |
