education and need the input of individuals who have lead medical
schools but are not currently doing so.   I need their names, the

Dear jmhines123-ga:

Before searching for this question, I had never realized that such a
tiny detail as the words ?former? or ?past? could increase so much the
difficult for a search when preceding, for example, the word
?president? ;-) Current ones are easy to find, past ones is somewhat
different. Not impossible, though, and below you finally have what
you've asked for.

As you probably know, Google Answers policies do not allow posting
private contact information. Instead, business contact information is
permitted. Thus, the current contact information provided in each case
corresponds to organizations to which the former presidents of medical
schools are related now, according to the found data.

The search strategies used for this search were as follows:

I hope to have met your needs. Please ask for clarification if you
consider it necessary. Thanks for your question.

Baylor College of Medicine became a stand-alone medical school. The
following year, the College?s Board of Trustees invited him to become
the Schools first President, and in that role, he convinced the Texas
Legislature that state money would be well spent in training Texas
students to be doctors in a private medical school. In addition, he

1960s. In 1979, DeBakey relinquished the Presidency to be Baylor

Chancellor Emeritus in 1996.?
