The interview follows a chronological format, beginning with Goodwin's childhood and education, continuing through his career in the U.S. Army Medical Corps, his Johns Hopkins Hospital residency, and ending with a discussion of his role in the founding and shaping of the UCLA Division of Urology. Major topics discussed include Goodwin's research, publications, and development of new techniques for kidney transplantation, suppression of immunal rejection reaction, and new procedures for vascular surgery and urinary diversion. The interview surveys the history of the UCLA School of Medicine, efforts to overcome town-gown rivalry, the founding of the residency program, key appointments, and major personalities. It also focuses on the evolution of urology as a medical specialty, the role of medical professional groups, and recent trends in medical education.
