CHFM Obtains G. Gayle Stephens Collection
The Center for the History of Family Medicine (CHFM) has obtained a significant new donation in the form of the papers of G. Gayle Stephens, MD.
Widely regarded as one of the pioneering leaders in the specialty, Dr Stephens was the founding director of one of the nation’s first family medicine residency programs in Wichita, Kansas, and was instrumental in the formation of a residency program at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. A prolific writer and recognized scholar in the specialty, Dr Stephens’ 1982 book The Intellectual Basis of Family Medicine has been hailed by many as one of the most influential works on family medicine ever written.
The collection, a generous gift to CHFM from Dr Stephens, is one of the most significant major collections from a past leader in the specialty to be donated to the Center in its more than two decades of operation. The Collection includes materials relating to Dr Stephens’ career and service in family medicine, and includes correspondence and professional papers, published and unpublished works, speeches, awards, and other materials.
