Founders is about the development of a new College of Medicine and TeachingHospital, located 90 miles from the parent University campus. The goal was toexamine the role of senior leaders, department chairs, division chiefs, seniorfaculty and administrators in this venture with a focus on their vision and goalsand, upon reflection, their achievements.The book discusses the role of the founders in assessing leadership (deans,chairs, chiefs), recruitment of faculty (criteria, charge, interaction), and funding(no state funding and very limited university funds). These are issues beingfaced by other institutions (existing, new, expanding). Decisions made in eachof these areas, proactive or by default, can have significant impact on theoverall teaching, patient care, and research missions. It was interesting thatdifferent individuals viewed the same events with totally different viewpointsof what really happened; underscoring the importance of communication toencourage a common core of intent and outcome.
