Paul Harold Lavietes was born in New Haven, Connecticut in 1907. He received his B.S. degree from the Sheffield Scientific School, Yale University in 1927 and his M.D. from the Yale School of Medicine in 1930. Lavietes was a physician on the staff of the Yale School of Medicine from 1932 until his retirement in 1987. He also served as a consulting physician at several Connecticut hospitals, including the Veterans Administration Medical Center in West Haven. He was investigated for possible Communist sympathies by the Veterans Administration and the Committee on Un-American Activities during the McCarthy era, and acquitted of all charges after an administrative hearing by the Veterans Administration. Lavietes was a founding editor of the Yale-sponsored Medical Letter on Drugs and Therapeutics and a long-time member of its advisory board. In 1971 he became the founding medical director of the Community Health Care Plan in New Haven, a post from which he retired in 1981.
