Entering medical school in 1968, I joined the Naval Reserve. As a senior student, I entered active duty as part of the “Senior Medical Student Program,” and then matched in Internal Medicine for residency training at the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) in Bethesda, MD. An emotional highlight of my internship year was being on call and standing at attention as the Vietnam POWs came home and were escorted to their rooms in the hospital. After residency, I completed a two-year fellowship
in Hematology-Oncology at NNMC, and then stayed on as an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Uniformed Services year of active duty was spent as a Senior Investigator at the Naval Medical Research Institute, also at NNMC. In all, I served nine years of active service in the Naval Reserve, as a commander, then spent four additional years as an active reservist while on the faculty of the University of Oklahoma.
