Biography

Michael C. Caldwell graduated from Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Class of 1990. He also served a residency in Internal Medicine at Mount Sinai (1990-93) and received an MPH from Harvard (1994). That same year, at the age of 30, he was appointed Health Commissioner of Dutchess County (NY), becoming the youngest county health commissioner with an M.D. ever recorded in the country. He joined the faculty of the Mount Sinai Department of Community Medicine in 1995.

Scope and Content

These papers document Michael Caldwell's role in the Student Council of Mount Sinai School of Medicine (1988-90) as well as his role as the Mount Sinai representative to the Organization of Student Representatives (OSR) of the American Association of Medical Colleges (1987-90). While serving on the Council, Caldwell spearheaded a movement to ensure that Mount Sinai became a smoke free environment. The Council passed a resolution, and Caldwell gathered information on making hospitals smoke free. He spoke to the Medical Board and was appointed to an institutional task force to make changes in this area.

These papers provide insights into the concerns of students during this time, as well as Caldwell's own interests in public health. The minutes from the Student Council have been removed to series.
