          This interview covers the years leading up to Dr. Chalmers accepting a position of President of The Mount Sinai Medical Center and Dean of the School of Medicine, but includes a bit of the story behind that. He begins by discussing his upbringing in Forest Hills, NY, schooling from Kew Forest School, Phillips Exeter Academy, then three years at Yale leading to medical school at Columbia's P&S. He goes into details about his family background, how he worked his way through school, failed his Army physical because of serum bilirubin issues, (later he was diagnosed with Gilbert’s syndrome) and thus took military service at Goldwater Memorial Hospital, conducting research. He continues to describe his work at various hospitals up to the time he came to Mount Sinai, the story of which will continue on another interview. (see AA107.INT032)
