President Bok has narrowed to about six the list of candidates to replace Robert H. Ebert, dean of the Medical School, and he is close to making his final choice, a member of the committee advising Bok on his choice said yesterday.
William Silen, chief of surgery at Beth Israel Hospital, said Bok is looking for someone with scientific, clinical and educational credentials to fill the post. Ebert will leave his position next July to pursue his studies in medical education.
Silen said Bok is also seeking someone who has an interest in the socio-economic problems associated with medical care.
President Bok was unavailable for comment yesterday.
