Abstract Oral history of a Mexican-trained physician who practiced in Taos, New Mexico and the surrounding county for more than forty years. The fifteen page transcript documents the professional life of Reynaldo M. Deveaux, M.D., starting with his years as a contract physician for a U.S. Farm Home Administration program in Taos County, New Mexico in 1942, and through his thirty-five years of private practice in a rural area with a large Hispanic population.

Scope and Contents In this interview, held when the doctor was ninety years old, Dr. Adler's personal background and professional training are summarized, then a general summary of his professional life and practice is given. Relatively thin in detail, the interview nevertheless provides insight into the practice and views of a first-generation medical specialist.

This oral history dates June 17, 1982 and consists of 1 audiocassette (80 min.) + 1 transcript (26 pages).
