1948: Endocrinology
In 1948, Dr. Robert H. Williams, a nationally prominent endocrinologist, was appointed to chair the newly established Department of Medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
He founded the Division of Endocrinology - the department's first subspecialty division - the same year and headed the division and was chair of the Department of Medicine from 1948-1963. He continued as division head until 1975.
In 1978, the division name was changed from Endocrinology to its present name, Division of Metabolism, Endocrinology and Nutrition.
