History of the UNC-Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital affiliation. From its opening in 1953, the Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital has been involved almost continuously in medical education. Initially rotating internships were offered, with as many as ten positions. Soon thereafter a two-year general practice residency was offered. Two family physicians in Greensboro, Dr3. George Wolff and Coleman Brantley, are graduates of these programs. In the early 60*'s Moses Cone had difficulty in filling positions and the teaching programs were discontinued. Their early success may have been due to the effectiveness of Dr. Waiter Lusk (brother of Dr. John Lusk), an endocrinologist and part-time Director of Medical Education. Dr. Lusk left Greensboro in the early '60*3 for Los Angeles. During the interim Dr. Joseph B. Stevens wa3 volunteer Director of Medical Education. About 1962 or 1963 the medical staff determined that it wished to affiliate with the University of North Carolina for any future teaching programs. Dr. Reece Berryhill, then Dean of the UNC School of Medicine, was approached regarding such an affiliation. These were hard years for the School of Medicine and progress was slow. Dr. Robert Cadmus, who was then an administrator at the N.C. Memorial Hospital, did an exhaustive study of Moses Cone and the potential of the community to develop a teaching program. His conclusions were very positive. Little happened for 2 or 3 years, but in November, 1966 a document defining the goals and conditions of affiliation was completed, having been written by Dr. Carl 8. Lyle and Dr. Berryhill. In March of 1967 I was appointed by the Chairman of the Department of Medicine, Dr. Louis G. Welt, to be Chief of the Medical Teaching Service of the Moses Cone Hospital. Dr. Martha Sharpiess, who had been in practice with the Ravenei group for about a year, was appointed by Dr. Floyd Denny to be Chief of the Pediatric Teaching Service. Dr. Sharpiess and I were the first full-time members of the faculty of the UNC School of Medicine to be based off-campus. The study by Dr. Cadmus and the initial affiliation agreement are on file and available for review. A revision of the affiliation agreement, written by Mr. Glenn Wilson in 1971, was accepted in lieu of the original affiliation •greeaent, with drastically altered language :^-[ deletion of most of the specifics of the original agreement. In July, 1967, Dr. Sharple3s and I assumed our duties and in September began to receive senior medical students, who functioned as acting interns. Teaching services were structured with the private internists and pediatricians as attending physicians and with Dr. Sharpiess and myself fulfilling some of the responsibilities of supervising residents. For the first several years there were large numbers of medic Jents, not only from Chapel Hill but from Bowman Gray and other schools across the country, who came to Moses Cone for acting internships. The direction of the teaching programs was the responsibility of the Joint Education Committee, members cf whom were the Chairmen of the Departments of Medicine and Pediatrics and the Chiefs of each of the services of the Moses Cone Hospital. 1 was appointed "Chief of the University of North Carolina Teaching Programs" and Chairman of the Joint Education Committee.
