Series 1: Medical Education, 1940-1966

This series documents Dr. Brown's medical education which combined training in medicine, psychiatry, and public health. The records largely consist of course handouts, lecture and seminar notes, notebooks, class papers, and examinations. Folders are arranged alphabetically by educational institution and thereafter by course, conference, and/or lecture topic.

Records largely cover Dr. Brown's medical education at Cornell University Medical School (1952-1960), an internship at Yale University School of Medicine, School of Pediatrics (1957-1960), and Harvard University School of Public Health (1959-1960) where he earned a Masters degree in Public Health. Other material in the series include notes taken by Dr. Brown during a position he held as a clinical clerk in neurology and neurosurgery at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in the summer of 1955. Records from Dr. Brown's early education in Brooklyn public schools and from courses taken at Brooklyn College as an undergraduate from 1940-1952 are also contained among the records.

Dates for some of the undated records in this Medical Education series have been established using Cornell University Medical College announcements for 1952/53 through 1956/57.
