Erwin R. Schmidt was a pioneering surgeon and chairman of the Department of Surgery at the University of Wisconsin from 1926 to 1961. He made significant contributions to the field of anesthesia by inviting Ralph Waters to establish the first academic department of anesthesia in 1928 and introducing new concepts such as anesthesia becoming a science based on physiology and pharmacology. Schmidt had a distinguished career as a surgeon, publishing over 50 papers and building renowned sections in several specialties including open heart surgery, thoracic surgery, and neurosurgery. He was a leader in the fields of gastrointestinal surgery, surgical infections, and vascular surgery.
