Biographical / historical:

The University of Virginia School of Medicine was established as one of the University's original eight schools when UVa opened in 1824, and in 1901 the University of Virginia Hospital was opened with Dr. Paul Barringer as Superintendent. Since its opening in 1901, the University of Virginia Hospital has expanded its physicians, departments, and Hospital facilities.
