History of the Evans Days Medical Foundation
This year marks the 96th year of the Evans Department of Medicine. The Evans Department of Medicine began its activities in 1912. It was established by Maria Antoinette Evans, who made a series of gifts to the Massachusetts Homeopathic Hospital, now Boston Medical Center, to endow a research department of medicine, with the stipulation that research and teaching be intimately interrelated in the department. Although technically a separate research institute, the Evans Department has always functioned as an integral part of the clinical care and training programs of Boston Medical Center and the academic programs of the Department of Medicine at Boston University School of Medicine. Many of its research programs involve components at the hospital, the Medical School, and the Boston Veterans Administration Medical Center.
This year marks the 23rd Evans Department of Medicine annual research celebration, which was established in 1985 to acknowledge and foster the research activities of the Evans Department of Medicine. A three-day period of academic activity will take place during which both the basic and clinical research accomplishments of the department are exhibited. In recognition of the distinguished past of the department as a training center for faculty and practitioners, we invite eminent clinical and basic scientists to share their scholarship and enlighten present trainees and faculty. Poster and oral presentations of ongoing research demonstrate our vigorous present and future. The three-day event features Distinguished Clinical and Basic Science Lectures (Ingelfinger Visiting Professor and Wilkins Visiting Professor respectively), which serve as touchstones of the excellence to which we all aspire.
