Description
Dr. Burke explains how he came to his first administrative position as Medical Director of the Gynecologic Oncology Clinic, or Station 82, when the institution was transitioning its organization from one focused on specialization to multi-disciplinary clinics based on disease site. He notes that Gynecologic Oncology always operated that way, beginning with the founders of gynecologic practice at MD Anderson and their early recruitments.
He talks about the rudimentary situation of the clinics in the early nineties, the early record keeping practices (see example from a PowerPoint presentation, available from the Archivist, Research Medical Library). He developed on the history of the Clinic, which includes information about these practices).
