As an undergraduate I had many interests stimulated by anthropology and history courses that I took before deciding to apply to Medical School with its many science course requirements. The General Studies major made possible a broader then usual pre med education. I attribute that education to my later, after medical training, work on a seminal research project on the Navajo Reservation on the effectiveness of primary care in an economically underdeveloped area, an MPH (Public Health) degree, an academic career at Harvard, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health and Georgetown U Medical School. I was Coordinator of a WHO International Collaborative Study of the Use of Medical Care and have had a lifetime interest in use of health services in the United States as affected by our uniquely constrained access to health insurance and health services among developed nations.
