Dr. Eweild W. Busse, chairman
of the Department of Psychatry,
will become Duke’s Director of
Medical and Allied Health
Education on Sept. 1.
He will succeed Dr. Thomas D.
Kinney, who has been director
since 1969 and who is retiring from
administrative responsibilities to
return to teaching and research.

chairmanship of the Department of

School of Medicine. Instead the
Director of Medical and Allied

education £is well as education in
the multiple fields of allied health
training under way at Duke. The
School of Nursing is ^idministered
separately by a dean.
