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 | In this interview, Dr. Jerry Bernstein shares his experiences as a medical student and resident at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the 1960s and 1970s. Dr. Bernstein recounts a class of young students, predominantly white men, straight out of college, diving into a science-dominated curriculum. In a discipline otherwise built around hierarchy and guided by the impetus to avoid mistakes, Dr. Bernstein offers anecdotes of meaningful relationships and sound pedagogy. Drawn to the opportunity to practice preventive, family-oriented, community- based medicine, and inspired by his mentors, Dr. Bernstein emerges from his training to join the ranks of North Carolina's pediatricians. |
