Scope and Contents

From the Collection: This interview surveys the two careers of Dr. Junius A. Evans as a physician in New Mexico. From 1946 until 1959, Dr. Evans served a large general practice in Las Vegas, New Mexico, until serious illness forced a career change. After a residency in dermatology, Dr. Evans returned in 1962 to New Mexico, this time to Roswell, and practiced his specialty for an additional quarter century. This interview provides detailed information on both these careers, including appraisals of the physician communities and medical facilities in both towns, and also contains information on traditional medicine, professional activity within the New Mexico Medical Society and specialty organizations, and other topics.
