Addressing health inequity is now recognized as a clinical competency in medical education. We examined the career and writings of Robert Wilson Jr. (1867-1946), longtime dean of the Medical College of the State of South Carolina during the Jim Crow Era, using primary and secondary sources within the context of systemic and structural racism, particularly in South Carolina. Wilson used public health data to refute the "Black Extinction Hypothesis" rooted in social Darwinism. He challenged assumptions of inherent Black susceptibility to tuberculosis, linking disease instead to social determinants of health. He also identified disproportionate mortality from kidney and cardiovascular disease among Black populations, anticipating modern health disparities research. Wilson further acknowledged systemic injustice and implicated structural conditions, including housing, in shaping outcomes. In an era of continuing health inequity and racial health disparities, Wilson applied empirical evidence to reject biological determinism, identify outcomes disparities, and advocate for racial justice.
A personal narrative of my time in the Hunt laboratory and beyond is provided. The impact of the Hunt laboratory on the analysis of peptides and proteins by tandem mass spectrometry is described in the context of the time.
The first formal immunisation schedule for the delivery of triple (DTP) vaccine was drawn up in November 1960. Since 1960 there have been many changes to the immunisation schedule, with a further change proposed for 1996. These changes have been in response to new vaccine development and better understanding of vaccine immunology. Further changes are certain.
