I wanted to know what the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (an institution partly owned by the University of Washington Medical Center, and where cancer patients are seen on an out-patient basis) would tell me about Dr. Sangtae Park's career at the UW and SCCA, so I e-mailed Dean Forbes, the media relations person, last Monday, June 30.
I e-mailed Dean at both his work and personal e-mail addresses, but received no reply. I e-mailed him again a couple of days later, and also called him on his work number. I asked whether Dr. Park had resigned or was fired from his appointments in Seattle.
No reply.

I had slightly better luck with Chicago, where the media relations person returned my e-mail promptly.
This is what he said:
I am told we do not have a full bio for him. He is a Clinical Assistant Professor (5% effort) in Surgery. He joined us 2/1/08 and is not technically "faculty." Dr. Park is based primarily at Mount Sinai Hospital [the one in Chicago, not New York City] and some of our residents work with him there. You might check with Mt Sinai.

I e-mailed John back, asking for an e-mail address for Dr. Park. Once I get that, I will e-mail the doctor directly. None of the bios of Dr. Park that are on the Web mention his time working at the UW and SCCA, which is one thing that I was curious about.
