IN MEMORIAM
Dewitt
Daughtry, M.D., one of the leading proponents
for a nascent School of Medicine 52 years ago, passed away in March.
Daughtry, Florida’s first fully trained cardiothoracic surgeon,
moved to Miami in 1948 from Richmond, Virginia. He was enlisted by the
first president of the University of Miami, Bowman Foster Ashe, and state
Senator R. Bunn Gautier to bolster support for locating the state’s
first medical school in Miami. The University of Miami School of Medicine
was founded in 1952, and Daughtry was involved with education at the
school ever since. In recognition of his commitment and generosity, the
department of surgery was renamed the Dewitt Daughtry Family Department
of Surgery. Daughtry passed away at his home in Miami. He was 90.
