Summary: "In 1951 Donald Seldin abandoned a secure teaching position at Yale University to start his own academic unit at a fledgling institution, the Southwestern Medical School of the University of Texas in Dallas. Upon arrival, he discovered a tumbledown red brick building surrounded by leftover WWII plywood barracks that were so drafty that one winter the gross anatomy class had to be canceled until the cadavers thawed. Yale's Sterling Hall this was not. Seldin weathered setbacks and faculty losses, but new funding and a new dean meant UT Southwestern was turning a corner. As department chair, his skill as a recruiter, mentor, physician, and scientist transformed the hospital "into a national powerhouse in biomedicine," and Seldin would come to be considered "the most influential and respected academic physician of this era." Nobel Prize-winner Joseph Goldstein praised Seldin as "a true maestro in the way he taught clinical medicine. He was famous in medical circles, for his sharp intellect, his extensive knowledge of clinical medicine, his impressive diagnostic skills, his stimulating approach to teaching, and his unique ability to select and mentor young physician-scientists, many of whom became highly successful biomedical scientists." Seldin died on April 25, 2018, at the age of ninety-seven"-- Provided by publisher.
