Frederick T. van Beuren Jr.
Frederick T. van Beuren Jr. (February 10, 1876 – March 13, 1943) was a physician, surgeon, medical school administrator, professor, researcher, and hospital administrator. He was graduated from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. He later became the chief of its surgery clinic and an instructor in surgery. Even later, he became its associate dean and associate clinical professor of surgery. He was a vice president of the New York Academy of Medicine. While researching gastroenterological surgery, he conducted long-term studies at Roosevelt Hospital and Presbyterian Hospital. He also was president of Morristown Memorial Hospital in New Jersey.
During World War I, he was a captain of the Medical Reserve Corps. He spoke publicly supporting medical preparedness and urging physicians to join the war effort. He published a scrapbook related to the examination of the effects of World War I upon American physicians and the medical profession in the United States.
He was a published clinician in peer-reviewed journals, who often was invited to read the results of his clinical studies before many medical organizations and associations in the United States and Canada. He contributed to the Annals of Surgery.
In 1898, van Beuren was awarded a bachelor of arts degree by Yale University and in 1902 he was graduated from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, with a degree in medicine. Within ten years he was chief of staff at his alma mater's surgery clinic and teaching surgery at the university.
In April 1910, he was elected a fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine where he served as recording secretary (1916–1919), as vice-president (1925–1927), and as a member of the committee on admission (1922–1927), which selected the candidates offered admission. He was given another position at the academy as a member of the committee on medical education in 1926. He also served on the program committee and the building committee.
He was active in community public health activities and services including free clinics and emergency planning. During World War I, van Beuren served as a captain in the federal Medical Reserve Corps that became part of the Council on National Defense (1915–1937), which was organized under the U.S. Army with national leaders who sat on a council that reported directly to the president of the United States. Members of the corps created the national planning to assure that adequate medical services would be available during emergencies, including periods of war. In 1917, members of the Medical Reserve Corps became members of the Medical Officers' Reserve Corps, for the war years, before reverting to their peacetime emergency planning role after the armistice in 1918. In this capacity, Captain van Beuren was invited to attend the semi-annual meeting of the Essex County Medical Society on June 5, 1917, in Elizabethtown, New York as a speaker presented during their Scientific Program. He "...spoke on Medical Preparedness and the need of the National Government for medical men at the present time..." and "...a rising vote of thanks was extended..."
He was assistant attending surgeon at Lincoln Hospital (1910–1913) and at Roosevelt Hospital (1913–1921). He was attending surgeon at Volunteer Hospital (1915–1917) and at Sloane Hospital for Women (1920–1938). After he had become associate dean at his alma mater (1921–1934), the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, beginning in 1929, he held the position of associate clinical professor of surgery there as well. In 1933 he became president of Morristown Memorial Hospital in New Jersey, another position he held until his death.
He was associate visiting surgeon at Presbyterian Hospital, where for twenty-four years, he conducted clinical research into surgical techniques and equipment. His assessment of that research was read before the New York Surgical Society on February 24, 1943. He also was consulting surgeon at Elizabeth A. Horton Memorial Hospital at Middletown, New York, which now is known as Orange Regional Medical Center.
