Gray, Howard Kramer

Mentioned in the 1949-12-12-01 Minutes of the Pima County Medical Society, 1904-1954: “Dr. Cogswell stated that he had talked with Dr. Howard Gray, and that he wondered if there could be enough independent operating for the surgical residents. Dr. Thompson replied that he felt that only by combination residency between the four hospitals could this be accomplished. It appears that the minimum requirement is 100 major surgical procedures in the final year of residency.”
