Bellevue Hospital Medical
College opened its doors in the spring of 1861, with the following
physicians as the faculty: Stephen Smith, Frank H. Hamilton, James
R. Wood, Alexander B. Mott, Lewis A. Sayre, Isaac E. Taylor, Fordyce
Barker, George T. Elliot, Jr., Benjamin W. McCready, J.W. S. Gouley,
Austin Flint, Austin Flint, Jr., and Robert O. Doremus.
The original building was on
the grounds of Bellevue Hospital, but the school soon realized they
needed a larger building, and in 1865-66, a larger building, also on
the hospital grounds, was erected at 419-21 East 26th Street. In
addition to serving as the home for the College, the facility was
also used by the Bureau of Medical and Surgical Relief for the
Out-door Poor.
During the Civil War,
physicians from Bellevue Hospital Medical College , under the
auspices of the United States Sanitary Commission, published several
monographs for Army surgeons, such as Stephen Smith's piece on
"Amputations." Faculty members also played significant roles on New
York City 's Council of Hygiene and Public Health, whose landmark
report on the sanitary condition of the city led to the
establishment in 1866 of the New York City Department of Health.
The surgery department of the
college was strong, and included prominent doctors such as Lewis
Sayre, who was the first professor of orthopedic surgery in the
country. In 1854 he performed the first successful resection of the
hip joint in the United States . Frank Hamilton was an authority on
fractures, and wrote the first complete and comprehensive treatise
in English on the subject.
