Since graduating from the program in 1976, having done my intership at Reynolds Army Hospital at Fort Sill, I have had an interesting and great professional and personal life which I attribute in no small part to the US Army-Baylor Program.
1976-1980: Chief of the Department of Family Medicine and then Deputy Commander Reynolds Army Hospital
1980-1983: Chairman of the Department of Family Medicine and Primary Care at DDEAMC, Fort Gordon.
1983-1999: Vice Chairman of the Department of Family Medicine, Medical College of Georgia, Augusta, Georgia.
While a faculty member of the state medical school of Georgia, because of my HCA degree I was also the Associate Chief of Staff for Quality Management, Utilization Review, and Risk Management, to be followed by Associate Chief of Staff for Ambulatory Care and Medical Director of the College's Outpatient Clinics.
Upon my retirement from the Medical College of Georgia in 1999, I joined a new venture called Innovative Health Strategies. Along with a number of other Medical Corps retirees we began a consultation company for the insurance industry. We started with 5 employees and now employ 30 fulltime employees and another 75 part-time physicians.
Also since retirement I still work in rural outreach clinics for the medical school and work in Mexico several times a year for the church.
I owe a great deal of my professional success to the Baylor Course. If the occasion ever arose, I would consider it an honor to share my career experiences with current students as a guest lecturer. I think they would find Innovative Health Strategies an interesting concept.
If memory serves me correctly, Col. Paul Brooks and myself finished 1-2 in the class and while he was the honor graduate, I was the outstanding graduate.
