I am a clinician-educator in the Division of General Internal Medicine at UAB--The University of Alabama at Birmingham.  That is to say, I earn my salary mostly through clinical work, although I also do alot of teaching, primarily on the hospital wards and in clinic.  And I find time to do some writing. 

 

Education: 

 

M.D., Ph.D. (History)  University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign              

 

Internal medicine residency, University of Wisconsin, Madison

 

General medicine fellowship as Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholar, University of Pennsylvania.  Worked mostly with the Dept of History and Sociology of Science.

 

 

 

 My research interests include the history of medical education, contemporary issues in medical education, the organization of the medical profession and its practice, clinical and research ethics and the nature and character of clinical knowledge. yes, i suppose that's really a bit too much...
