2011 Annual James V. Warren Memorial Lecture

FEATURING Dr. George W. Paulson, MD

“The Pursuit of Excellence at the OSUMC: How Problems Became Progress”

Join us for a lecture and book signing by George W. Paulson, MD, in celebration of his recently-published book, In Pursuit of Excellence: The Ohio State University Medical Center– From 1834 to 2010. Dr. Paulson will briefly review the historical progress of the OSUMC from its inception in 1834 until the recent days. There will be emphasis on issues and problems which, after they were addressed, served both to enrich the academic quality and to enhance the delivery of patient care. Such problems included the location off campus, homeopathy, the practice plan battle, town gown concerns, and issues of competition. Problems for the future may include isolation from the local medical community, and optimal allocation of resources for research, teaching, and service. By any or all criteria OSUMC has done well, and the journey, the Pursuit, merits celebration and remembrance. Books will be available for sale and signing at the end of the lecture.
