How did you get involved in Public Health? Patrick McCannon: I was a recent graduate or about to graduate from the University of Wisconsin and back in the stone age when they actually sent people to recruit new graduates on the campus, and I went to several interviews and I had job offers from Dunn &amp; Bradstreet, DOW Chemical and outfit that was trying to eradicate Syphilis from the United States and that one sounded interesting and I'd never heard of CDC before then. They talked about it being with the Public Health Service. So I put in my application for the recruiter and followed up several times, and that was it. Interviewer: So was Public Health something that you always knew you were interested in? Patrick McCannon: No. I absolutely had no idea of public health. I wish I could say that I was dreaming about a career in public health since I was eight years old, but I didn't have a clue about it. Interviewer: So how would you describe your early life and education through high school? Patrick McCannon: Wow! I grew up in small towns in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Sort of typical for that area, interesting, I enjoyed school immensely, I played all the different sports and got involved in all the different kind of activities in school that they offered and had a very good time, enjoyed it. I went to Catholic school early on and then public school. Interviewer: So how did you decide that you wanted to go to India on the Smallpox Eradication Project? Patrick McCannon: Well actually, it wasn't India, for me, it was Bangladesh, but I had joined CDC in 1967 - February of 1967, and one of the programs that was rolled out several years after that, I think it may have been '69 or '68 was the Smallpox Campaign in West Africa and I desperately wanted to get involved in that. I'd been on the job for several years and it sounded exciting and really sort of a golden opportunity, but I wasn't able to compete. I didn't have enough years in service and they had a lot of people volunteering for the West Africa Campaign; and I kept an eye on things as they were looking for volunteers for Bangladesh, I put my name in and went through some interviews and I was selected to be one of the people to go over on the first team that they sent after they discovered the re- introduction of smallpox in Bangladesh. Interviewer: What were some of the hardships that you faced upon arriving in Bangladesh; any culture shock? Patrick McCannon: I'm sure I'd suffer from culture shock. Like everybody I had limited travel experience. I'd traveled in Europe but nothing that approached a third world country, and at that time Bangladesh was just coming back from a terrible war with Pakistan and for the entire country there were either news reports of Bangladesh being the basket case of the world. You know, very, very difficult living in Bangladesh at the time, for the residents there. So I'm sure that I had culture shock seeing third world country and people living in very deprived conditions. Interviewer: Were there any main changes between the work that you did here and the work that you did in Bangladesh, with the new responsibilities? Patrick McCannon: The environment in which we did the work was just totally different and it required a lot of attention to be attentive to the environment around you and the people and all the things that make up a third world country and the condition that Bangladesh was in; and then you add on the disease that you're dealing with. Smallpox was a real killer and this really very major and as soon as we arrived we went to the old cholera hospital that had in part been turned into a smallpox ward for the indigent and isolation area and we were given a three-day course on differential diagnosis of smallpox and identification of smallpox, and how to handle specimens and how to handle patients, and how to set up remedial care for the people that were afflicted with smallpox; and this was prior to our going out into the areas that we went to. So just the foreign environment, the sort of dealing with the disease that basically there was no treatment for except for to care, remedial care, and with substantial mortality. So that combined to be a very unique experience, regardless of the background that I had. There were some things that I was very pleased with, I mean in retrospect, like the training that I had had and I was a public health adviser, and basically that was CDC's management entry point for people that they would build into managers, who eventually would be, maybe, in senior management positions at CDC, and you learn by doing, you had mentors that provided you assistance along the way. You were put into State assignments and moved all around the country in different assignments and progressed up the ladder, and then some people came to CDC [Audio ended prematurely - 0::07:47] </pre> Player html for embedded player to stream video content <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vjCOeeNtJC8" frameborder="0" width="560" height="315"></iframe> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Malaria Control: CDC Beginnings Description An account of the resource <div class="landing"> <p>In 1942, when the U.S. was mobilizing for the Second World War, the U. S. Public Health Service set up a program to protect the personnel of military bases in the Southeastern states from malaria. This disease had long been rampant in the area, and posed serious threats to the health of the military and civilian populations. The program known as Malaria Control in War Areas (MCWA) was created to carry out the work. The lack of space in Washington due to the war effort allowed the program to base its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, and closer to the work at hand. During the war years, the program was expanded to include the control of other communicable diseases. Because its work was so successful, a new organization was created around the nucleus of MCWA, the Communicable Disease Center (CDC). The date was July 1, 1946. This archive chronicles the agency’s early history from 1941-1951, including the contributions of local businessmen and Emory University.
