THE FUN BEGINS

In what has become a popular

new tradition, the Medical Alumni

Association kicked off White Coat

Weekend by hosting the incoming class

of medical students at a Birmingham

Barons baseball game on Saturday,

Aug. 13. Attendees enjoyed traditional

baseball game fare and mingling with

new classmates and their families

while watching the Barons defeat the

Chattanooga Lookouts 3-1. Multiple

students won door prizes from local

businesses for joining the MAA’s

Student Alumni Association (pictured

above).

The next day, award winners, honorees,

and their families gathered at the

Alys Stephens Center for another

new tradition, the Service in Medicine

Awards Luncheon, which took place

before the White Coat Ceremony. After

a welcome from Selwyn M. Vickers,

M.D., FACS, senior vice president for

medicine and dean of the School of

Medicine, Pink L. Folmar, Jr., M.D.

’72, president of the Medical Alumni

Association, presented the Martha

Myers Role Model Awards to this year’s

recipients (read more on page 6).

Next, Gold Humanism Honor Society

President Tooba Anwer and Vice

President Rebecca Duron recognized

the Society’s 2016 inductees. The Gold

Humanism Honor Society recognizes

individuals who are exemplars of

humanistic patient care and who can

serve as role models, mentors, and

leaders in medicine. Ten members of

the third-year medical class and 14

members of the fourth-year class were

inducted into the society. Lisa Laycock

Willett, M.D. ’96, R’99, professor

of medicine in the Department of

Medicine and program director for

the Tinsley Harrison Internal Medicine

Residency Program, was awarded the

Leonard Tow Humanism in Medicine

Award. The award is given annually to a

faculty member who best demonstrates

the ideals of outstanding compassion

in the delivery of care; respect for

patients, their families, and health care

colleagues; and clinical excellence.

As winner of the award, Dr. Willett will

deliver the keynote address at next

year’s White Coat Ceremony.

Dr. Vickers closed the luncheon by

recognizing School of Medicine legacy

students and their families. Sixteen

members of the incoming class have

parents, grandparents, and/or other

family members who are also graduates

of the School of Medicine, or have a

sibling who is currently enrolled.

THE MAIN EVENT

At 2 p.m., the 186 members of the

incoming class filed into the Alys

Stephens Center’s Jemison Concert

Hall and took their seats before the

stage, on which sat rows of School of

Medicine leadership and faculty, for the

2016 White Coat Ceremony. Created in

1993 by the Arnold P. Gold Foundation

to emphasize the importance of

compassion, in addition to clinical skill,

in the practice of medicine, the White

Coat Ceremony has become a common

feature at American medical schools.

It is at the ceremony that incoming

medical students receive their first

white coat, a powerful symbol of the

challenge before them and the bonds

they will form to the noble tradition of

being a physician.

The ceremony began with a welcome

from Drs. Vickers and Folmar. The

keynote address was presented

by Kevin J. Leon, M.D., R ’99, F ’02,

associate dean of undergraduate

medical education and the 2015

winner of the Leonard Tow Award for

Humanism in Medicine. Dr. Leon spoke

movingly of the profound impression

made on him by a 13-year-old leukemia

patient named Michael whom Dr. Leon

came to know while doing his pediatric

rotation as a third-year medical student

at Baylor College of Medicine. The boy

eventually succumbed to the disease,

Dr. Leon said, but he still credits that

time spent with Michael for teaching

him about inner strength and courage,

and “what it truly means to dedicate

yourself to others.”

Two awards were presented after the

keynote address. Third-year medical

student Salmaan Z. Kamal of Tuscaloosa

became the second recipient of the

Sara Crews Finley, M.D., Endowed

Leadership Scholarship, which was

established by the family of Dr. Sara

Finley. The scholarship, which honors

the legacy of a pioneer in medical

genetics and a beloved faculty member

and student mentor, supports students

who demonstrate exceptional academic

and leadership abilities.

The second annual Brewer-Heslin

Award for Professionalism in Medicine

was awarded to Desiree E. Morgan,

M.D., R ’93, vice chair of education

and the residency program director

for the UAB Department of Radiology.

The award, which was established

by former Alabama Gov. Albert P.

Brewer, recognizes faculty physicians

for upholding the highest ideals of

professionalism in medicine. According

to Cheri L. Canon, M.D., FACR,

R ’98, Witten-Stanley Endowed Chair

of Radiology, “Desiree has always

embraced the concept of service

lines in clinical care and has strongly

advocated for radiologists to be

embedded in patient care areas, not

hidden away in dark reading rooms.”

Then it was time for the students to

file across the stage and be helped

into their white coats—provided by

the Medical Alumni Association—by

representatives of the School of

Medicine’s regional campuses. David L.

Bramm, M.D., R ’89, assistant professor

of family medicine at the Huntsville

campus; Wick J. Many, Jr., M.D. ’73,

regional dean of the Montgomery

Campus and holder of the Virginia Loeb

Weil Endowed Professorship in Medical

Education; and Thaddeus P. Ulzen,

M.D., associate dean of academic

affairs at the College of Community

Health Sciences in Tuscaloosa, were on

hand to do the honors.

The ceremony closed with the students

reciting the class mission statement

they had composed during orientation:

A MODEL OF LEADERSHIP

Salmaan Kamal has become the second recipient of the Sara Crews Finley, M.D., Endowed

Leadership Scholarship, which supports students who demonstrate exceptional academic and leadership abilities. At the School of Medicine’s White Coat Ceremony,

Kamal received a new white coat with special insignia identifying him as the Sara Crews Finley, M.D., Leadership Scholar. “It is humbling to be recognized as someone with the integrity to carry out Dr. Finley’s legacy of service,” Kamal said.

Born in Chicago and raised in Tuscaloosa, where his parents practice medicine – his father is an endocrinologist and his mother a cardiologist – Kamal graduated from Princeton University with a degree in molecular biology.

Kamal is spending his third year of medical school in Tuscaloosa and nearby areas, starting with a family medicine rotation in rural Fayette, population 4,600. “This was a great opportunity to see how health policy affects the practice of medicine,” he says. “Since then, I’ve been on my OBGYN rotation and have enjoyed being in the hospital, even with the long nights.”

Kamal has made no decisions on a specialty, noting that he is following the advice of his physician mentors, parents, grandmother, and sister to let his clinical rotations guide his choice. He currently serves as the president of the Class of 2018.

In the care of the suffering, we commit

ourselves to continuous learning and

practice of our chosen profession. We

will always care for our patients with

compassion, never forgetting that we

will treat human beings—not merely

their chief complaints.

In pursuing such compassion, we will

celebrate our differences, which make

us unique, caring for the needs of both

our colleagues and patients alike.

In our daily practice, we shall conduct

ourselves with integrity, keeping sacred

the confidence and trust given to us by

those who seek our advice.

Ultimately, we pledge to hold high the

standards of medical professionalism

practiced by generations of physicians

before us, treating both each other and

those we are called to serve ethically.

In what is sure to be a meaningful new tradition, each of the white coats for the incoming medical students, provided by the Medical Alumni Association, included words of encouragement from a School of Medicine alumnus. More than 150 alumni submitted handwritten notes to be slipped into the pockets of the white coats of this year’s incoming class. The MAA is accepting notes from alumni for next year’s white coats all year long. If you would like to write a note for next year’s incoming students, please contact Beth Eddings at 205-934-4471 or [email protected].

When MAA President Pink L. Folmar,

Jr., M.D., graduated from the School of

Medicine in 1972, the average debt of

graduating medical students was about

$5,000. According to the Association of

American Medical Colleges, by 2014 the

average amount of medical school debt

for graduates had climbed to $183,000.

Dr. Folmar retired from practice in

January and is now focused on helping

the next generation of physicians.

“One of the main

things that is very

evident in today’s

medical school

experience is

student debt. It’s

overwhelming,”

he says. To help

ease that burden,

the Folmars have

made a gift to

establish the

Pink L. and Miriam R. Folmar Endowed

Medical Scholarship, which will support

third- or fourth-year students who

wish to pursue careers in primary care

medicine.

“Hopefully, we can push new physicians

toward primary care by helping

decrease student debt,” he says. “The

scholarship is just a small fraction

of tuition, but hopefully it will have

some impact. If we can show that one

individual can do it, maybe we can

inspire more to give.”

scholarships in the School of Medicine,

Equal Access Birmingham held its third

annual Heart + Sole 5K and Kids’ Run on

Saturday, Aug. 20, to raise funds for the

medical student-run free clinic, which

provides health education and medical

care to Birmingham’s uninsured and

underserved population. This year’s run

took place at Crestline Elementary school.

In addition to registration fees, there was

also a $25 “sleep-in” option for people

who wanted to support the cause but not

participate in the run.

According to second-year medical

student Jui Paul, one of the race

organizers, students raised $21,000 for

the clinic from race registration fees and

sponsorships, including a sponsorship

by the Medical Alumni Association. A

total of 437 people registered for this

year’s event. “We were thrilled with the

participation and support from the UAB

and Birmingham community this year. We

feel so blessed to have so many people

come out for our clinic,” Paul said.

Organizers also hosted a clerkship

competition among departments

in the School of Medicine and UAB

Hospital. With 49 registered participants,

the Department of Surgery was the

competition winner, followed by the

Department of Medicine and the

Department of Radiation Oncology.

Internal Medicine intern Connor Wann,

M.D., came in first place in the 5K.

The 2016 White Coat Awards Luncheon featured the presentation of the Medical Alumni Association’s Martha Myers Role

Model Awards to three distinguished alumni. Martha C. Myers, M.D. ’71, served as a medical missionary in Yemen until her

death at the hands of a Yemeni extremist in 2002. Dr. Myers’ life serves as a reminder of how physicians are integral members

of a greater community that extends beyond patient care at the bedside, clinic, and hospital. It is in the spirit of service for

others in all aspects of life that the MAA is honored to recognize the recipients of the Martha Myers Role Model Award.

GARRY W. MAGOUIRK, M.D., CLASS OF 1980Raised in the small town of Ohatchee, Ala., Garry W. Magouirk, M.D., graduated from the School of

Medicine in 1980 and spent his three-year residency in the Tuscaloosa Family Practice Residency

program.

During his first year of residency he was approached by Brother Byron White, a Methodist minister

from Berry, Ala., with a unique opportunity. Brother White offered Dr. Magouirk the opportunity

to enter into an arrangement with the Berry community, which agreed to provide financial support

for his medical education in exchange for his commitment to return to the community to practice

family medicine after completing his residency. Making good on his commitment to Berry, as a

resident Dr. Magouirk began to involve himself in the community, serving as the team physician for

Berry High School, a position he held until 2008.

After completing his residency, Dr. Magouirk came to Berry and began his practice. He later moved the practice to neighboring

Fayette, where he built a large practice that serves patients from both Berry and Fayette. He is loved and respected in the

community and by his patients.

Dr. Magouirk helped to formalize the development of a required rural rotation for Tuscaloosa Family Practice Residency Program

residents in Rural Alabama Health Alliance counties, including Fayette. He also was influential in creating the Rural Medical Scholars

Program at the University of Alabama College of Community Health Sciences. This program creates opportunities similar to that

which he had with Berry, nurturing and financially assisting medical students in exchange for a commitment to serve in rural Alabama

as physicians. Dr. Magouirk has served as a preceptor for more than 20 medical students in the past 25 years and as a member of the

School of Medicine Admissions Committee.

Dr. Magouirk met his wife, Jan, during his first year of residency, and they have been married for 35 years. They raised a daughter,

Beth, and son, Michael, in Berry and are members of the First United Methodist Church. Dr. Magouirk’s two grandchildren, Haven

and Graeme, are the lights of his life. Dr. Magouirk was nominated for this award by John R. Wheat, M.D. ’76, who has worked with

him for the past 25 years.

DANIEL C. POTTS, M.D., FAAN, RESIDENT 1997Raised in Aliceville, Ala., neurologist Daniel C. Potts, M.D., FAAN, attended Birmingham-Southern

College, the University of South Alabama College of Medicine, and UAB School of Medicine,

remaining on faculty at both medical schools. His mother was an English teacher, librarian, and

musician and his father was a saw miller and outdoorsman.

Early role models included Pickens County practitioners Dr. Robert Wilson, Dr. James Gentry, and

Dr. William Hill, whom Dr. Potts felt personified what physicians should be. Later, another Pickens

County physician, Dr. William Curry, solidified that mold. In medical school and residency, Dr. John

Bass and Dr. John Whitaker, among others, helped Dr. Potts fit this template. For the influence of

these master teachers, Dr. Potts is humbly thankful.

After residency, Dr. Potts’ father, Lester, developed Alzheimer’s disease, and Dr. Potts personally experienced the tragedies and

triumphs of dementia caregiving. During a particularly challenging time for his caregivers, Lester started to paint while attending

a dementia day program that offered art activities. The art changed everything—Lester Potts could paint watercolors, and no one

would have known had someone not cared enough to look past a seemingly blank canvas to the colorful soul beneath.

Inspired by watching his father’s spirit freed from the bonds of Alzheimer’s through art, Dr. Potts started writing poetry expressive of

profound gratitude and published a book of his poetry paired with his father’s art (the first of many books). After his father’s death,

Dr. Potts formed Cognitive Dynamics, a foundation dedicated to improving quality of life in dementia through the expressive arts

and storytelling. The foundation’s primary program, Bringing Art to Life, pairs college students with people who have dementia in an

art therapy, life-story preserving, service-learning experience that fosters empathy and intergenerational relationships.

Dr. Potts enjoys hiking, writing, photography, singing, finding beauty in the small things, and spending time with his wife, daughters,

and miniature dachshund. Grace is the most important word in his vocabulary; he has been a recipient of its great treasure.

“His work has done so much for caregiver support for Alzheimer’s locally and nationally, and for many years he has been a fabulous

teacher,” said Julia L. Boothe, M.D. ’02, who nominated Dr. Potts for this award.

MICHAEL S. VAUGHN, M.D., ABPM, CLASS OF 1981Michael S. Vaughn, M.D., grew up in Homewood and attended Berry High School, now Hoover

High School. He went to the University of Alabama on a mechanical engineering scholarship and

worked as a mechanical engineer for three years before deciding to attend the School of Medicine.

Graduating in the top of his class in 1981, he was voted Outstanding Senior Medical Student. Dr.

Vaughn is board certified in Preventive Medicine and takes a keen interest in nutrition, vitamins,

and exercise.

After completing his internship at Carraway Methodist Medical Center, he joined Southern Medical

Group in 1982 doing emergency medicine. Later that year he founded MedHelp P.C., the first

Urgent Care/Family Practice in the state of Alabama. Since then MedHelp has served more than a

million patients and has expanded to three locations in the Birmingham area. MedHelp provides the full range of family and internal

medicine (except for obstetrics), employing 10 full-time physicians, two nurse practitioners, and several part-time physicians. Dr.

Vaughn is a Bible-believing Christian who feels that the Golden Rule is the basis for his practice of medicine: “Do unto others as you

would have them do unto you.”

Dr. Vaughn is a member of the American Association of Family Physicians and an Associate Clinical Professor of Family Medicine

at UAB. He has mentored more than 200 medical students over the past 30 years, hosting many in his clinic through their clinical

clerkships.

Dr. Vaughn has been an active Boy Scout leader and was awarded the highest Scout honor, the Order of the Arrow, in 2014. He has

volunteered at M-Power Ministries clinic, providing free health care and medicine to the underserved and uninsured in Birmingham.

He has done medical mission work in El Salvador, taking care of those affected by the country’s civil war. Even though the corruption

of the Haitian government makes caring for the average citizen difficult, he has also served as a medical missionary to Haiti, caring for

people in dire need of help.

He and his wife of 40 years, Sandra Johns, have six children and live in Inverness. Recently, Dr. Vaughn’s son, Jordan, joined his

father’s practice after completing his Internal Medicine Residency at UAB Hospital.

Dr. Vaughn was nominated by Dr. Pink L. Folmar, Jr. who shared that, “Dr. Vaughn’s soft spoken voice, constant smile, and outgoing,

caring attitude serve as an example of how medicine should be practiced. He never lets an opportunity pass to pay a compliment to

a patient or employee.”

EDWARD CHEN, MS4Hometown: Anniston, Ala. Undergraduate: Emory University, BA in Chemistry & EconomicsJimmy Beard Medical Alumni Endowed Scholarship Recipient

What part of your medical training has appealed to you most? In terms

of third-year clerkships, I enjoyed

internal medicine because of the

interesting medical conditions that

patients had and having to formulate a

diagnosis and plan for these patients.

I enjoyed researching and reading

about management of medical conditions and acquired a lot

of practical knowledge.

ANN ELIZABETH DAVIS, MS4Hometown: Winfield, Ala.Undergraduate: Samford University, BS in BiologyMedical Alumni Association/Dean of Medicine Scholarship

What draws you to medicine?

My grandfather is a family medicine

physician in a rural town near my

hometown. At age 75, he continues to

practice because he enjoys his work

so much. Seeing the way that he loves

and is loved by his community helps

me to see the profound impact that a

physician can have.

What are your goals for the future? I am currently in the

process of applying to pediatric residency. When I envision

my average day in the future, I see myself caring for patients I

know by name. I will be performing back-to-school check-ups

for the students who are in class with my own children. I

will care for the newborns of my neighbors. I hope to be

active in my community, both professionally and personally.

Additionally, I hope to be involved in short-term mission trips

to underprivileged areas both in the U.S. and abroad.

DEEPA ETIKALA, MS3Hometown: Madison, Ala.Undergraduate: University of Alabama at Birmingham, BS in NeuroscienceMedical Alumni Association/Dean of Medicine ScholarshipWhat draws you to medicine?

As an undergraduate at UAB, I had the

opportunity to shadow and work with

pediatric neurologist Dr. Alan Percy

who specializes in Rett Syndrome.

His approach to his patients and

their families is inspiring. Dr. Percy

always communicates in a friendly and

effective manner, enabling families to become informed and

feel in control of their situation. After witnessing the effect

such an approach can have in what are often dire situations,

I plan to emulate this style. As a future physician, I will work

toward always communicating clearly with patients to afford

them the same opportunities to become knowledgeable and

gain control of their situations.

RYAN HADDEN, MS4Hometown: Salem, Ore.Undergraduate: Oregon State University, BS in Exercise and Sport ScienceUA Medical Alumni Association/Birmingham Surgical Society Endowed Scholarship

What draws you to medicine?

For nearly 10 years, my mother has

been battling colorectal cancer.

While I was an undergraduate, my

grandmother was diagnosed with

leukemia. It was difficult for the entire

family since the time from diagnosis

to death was just five months. Her oncologist, however, was

a man of integrity. Aware of her grim prognosis and likely

sensing our fear, he would return at the end of his shift just

to talk. His compassion and command of the intricacies

surrounding death and dying offered us a sense of stability

INVESTING IN THE FUTUREMeet the 2016/2017 Medical Alumni Association Scholarship Recipients

We consider nurturing the next generation of leaders in medicine to be among the Medical Alumni Association’s most important missions. To that end, we are pleased to present the recipients of MAA-funded

scholarships for the 2016/2017 academic year, who received nearly $70,000 in scholarships thanks to the

generosity of our members.

and comfort in a time of chaos and uncertainty. I never got

the chance to thank him, but I have had the opportunity to try

to pay that forward.

During my medicine clerkship, I helped manage the

care of an elderly woman with dementia presenting with

osteomyelitis. Her large family accompanied her, refusing

to leave her side. As a busy team, we lacked the capacity

to spend quality time with every patient during rounds,

but I made sure to return at the end of each day in order

to decode for the family the science behind their mother’s

condition. I printed off every test that was run and medication

administered, explaining the purpose of our efforts. Despite

having to make the transition from curative to palliative care,

the family was grateful for my time and attention.

Why is this scholarship meaningful to you? For those

applying into competitive specialties, the average cost of the

residency application process is nearly $5,000. In addition,

over 20 percent of U.S. graduating applicants in 2016 failed

to match into my chosen specialty, orthopaedic surgery.

However, the match rate approaches nearly 90 percent

for those who are able to attend at least 12 interviews. My

scholarship has helped to offset the cost of my education,

which in turn helped me pay for the residency application

process. I’m forever thankful for the assistance I received.

JAMES B. HAMMOCK, MS3Hometown: Morris, Ala.Undergraduate: Auburn University, BS in Biomedical SciencesMedical Alumni Association Endowed Scholarship

What draws you to medicine?

During spring of my freshman year

of college, I discovered my biggest

passion in life to that point: teaching. I

took a job as a tutor at the library, and

I fell in love with the idea of not only

teaching students, but also easing

their stress and building relationships

with them. Soon after, it dawned on me that the things that I

treasured about teaching were even also present in the field

of medicine. As a physician, patients will come to me with a

health concern that I can use previous knowledge and skills

to solve. I like the idea that improving my patients’ health and

peace of mind will have a positive impact on other areas of

their lives as well.

WILLIAM B. LEE, MS4Hometown: Marion, Ala.Undergraduate: Auburn University, BS in Biomedical SciencesMedical Alumni Association/Dean of Medicine Scholarship

What draws you to medicine? I was

first drawn to medicine as a child

while spending time with my father in

his family medicine clinic in Marion. I

enjoy the challenges and the rewards

that a career in medicine offers, and I

can honestly say that I cannot imagine

doing anything else with my life.

Why is the scholarship you received meaningful to you?

I feel like many of my peers who have substantial

student debt from medical school are dissuaded from

choosing family medicine as a career because of its lower

compensation. My scholarship has significantly decreased

the financial burden of medical school for me, giving me the

freedom to pursue the field that I am most passionate about

without concern for how I am going to pay off my debt.

DALLAS MORAN, MS1Hometown: Glencoe, Ala.Undergraduate institution: UAB, BS in General BiologyMedical Alumni Association Endowed Scholarship

What draws you to medicine? I

have always had an eye for science

and wanting to be there for people in

need. In medicine, I found a field that

incorporates both of my interests. It is

also a field that is constantly evolving

which allows me to continue my

education even after I have obtained

my degree.

Why is this scholarship meaningful to you? With the high

cost of medical school, a lot of people are choosing their

specialty based on anticipated income. With this scholarship,

I am more free to choose a specialty based on my interests.

JAMES B. WILHITE, MS4Hometown: Tuscaloosa, Ala.Undergraduate: University of Alabama, BS in Chemical EngineeringMedical Alumni Association/Dean of Medicine Scholarship

What draws you to medicine?

I was drawn to medicine by my father. He is an internist in

Tuscaloosa who did medical school

and residency at UAB. When I went

to medical school I thought I wanted

to follow in his footsteps in internal

medicine. However, during my third

year I did a rotation at Callahan and

realized that I love ophthalmology. I

was initially exposed to ophthalmology

in college when I went to Bolivia on a medical mission trip

and worked in an eye clinic for a week providing glasses to

locals.

Why is this scholarship meaningful to you? Because of this

scholarship, I have been able to focus on school and discover

my passion to become an ophthalmologist. In addition, it

has helped support me and my family, as I got married at the

start of medical school and am soon to become a father.

BRADLEY YOUNG, MS4Hometown: Auburn, Ala.Undergraduate: Auburn University, BS in Biomedical Sciences

Jimmy Beard Medical Alumni Endowed ScholarshipDo you have any role models who inspired you to study medicine? Born into a third-generation farming family, I was

quickly taught the ethic of hard work. However, I lacked a

familial role model in the medical field. I am forever thankful

to the exceptional individuals who filled this void and

mentored me throughout my journey

toward medical school: Dr. Glenn

Woods, an anesthesiologist in Auburn;

physicians at The Orthopaedic Clinic

in Auburn – Dr. Frazier Jones, Dr. Todd

Sheils, Dr. David Scott, and Dr. Ronald

Hillyer; Dr. Keith Bufford, a family

medicine physician in Auburn; and

many others.

Why is this scholarship meaningful to you? My fiancée, who

is also a fourth-year medical student, and I will be married

in February and matching into residency together in March.

Our compounded student loan burden is daunting in itself;

moreover, the “Couple’s Match” historically requires that we

apply to more programs than uncoupled applicants, which

increases our application and travel expenses. The MAA

scholarship is invaluable to me because it makes it possible

for us to focus on our medical studies and reach our full

potential, which might otherwise have been hindered by

finances.

This summer the Medical Alumni Association has been busy planning for the upcoming 2016-2017

academic year. Activities began during White Coat

Weekend in August with our Barons Baseball welcome event

for first-year students. It is always encouraging to meet the

hardworking, well-deserving students who are starting their

journey toward a career in medicine.

I am pleased to announce that our Alumni Campaign goal

of $30 million is well within reach. As of September 30, we

have raised $27,456,053 and are at 91.5 percent of our goal. Thank you to those who have made a Campaign gift,

and if you are still contemplating a gift know that these funds

will have a great impact on our School of Medicine. Please

contact Jackie Wood, Executive Director of Development, at

205-996-0815 or [email protected] for more information.

I’d also like to offer an update on the Dr. Rob McDonald

Memorial Endowed Medical Scholarship, which was

established by the Class of 2008 after Dr. McDonald’s

untimely death in summer 2014. The fund has reached the

$25,000 threshold and is ready to be presented to the Board

of Trustees for approval. This fund speaks volumes about the

legacy that Dr. McDonald left, and this scholarship will honor

his memory for years to come. The scholarship will support

nontraditional medical students interested in public health,

medical mission work, and/or infectious disease medicine.

It is with great sadness that I share news of the passing of

two true friends of the Medical Alumni Association. Former

Medical Alumni Association President Dr. Julius “Beau”

Dunn, of Wetumpka, passed away in August. Hettie Butler

Terry, wife of Dr. Aubrey Terry and the namesake of the Hettie

Butler Terry Community Service Award presented each year

at Alumni Weekend, passed away on September 5. Our

deepest condolences go out to both families during this time

of great loss.

We hope you are making plans to join us in February at the

2017 Medical Alumni Weekend. Mark February 24 and 25

down on your calendar today! The popular Mini Medical

School program will be back for its third year, and we are

adding some new activities as well, including campus bus

tours and the opportunity to attend Best Medicine Show.

The Best Medicine

Show has evolved

from the smaller

scale Skit Night

event into a major

fundraiser for the

student-run free

clinic, Equal Access

Birmingham.

This year’s show

will be held in

Birmingham’s

historic Lyric Theater. If you would like to attend, be sure

to register soon as we are limited to 100 tickets. Online

registration for Alumni Weekend is available now at

www.AlabamaMedicalAlumni.org.

It is an exciting time to be a part of the Medical Alumni

Association. We hope that you enjoy this issue of Informal

Rounds and take the time to see where our association and

our alma mater are making a difference in the medical arena.

If you are not an active member of our organization, please

consider paying your dues to support the great work that is

happening within and through our organization.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Pink L. Folmar Jr., M.D. ‘72

After two years as a student representative on the MAA board, Corey Duke, MS3, recently stepped down to pursue a Ph.D. in neurobiology through UAB’s M.D./Ph.D. program. He is studying the molecular underpinnings of learning, memory, and addiction in the lab of Jeremy Day, Ph.D. “Serving on the board has been an incredible learning experience and I have cherished interacting with the incredible alumni of the School of Medicine,” Corey says.

Salmaan Kamal, third-year class president, joined the board this August. He was raised in Tuscaloosa and attended Princeton University, where he earned certificates in molecular biology and global health. He worked at the National Coalition on Health Care in Washington, D.C. before matriculating to the School of Medicine. He served as the president of Equal Access Birmingham for one year. He is currently training in Tuscaloosa. In his limited free time, Sal enjoys playing tennis, watching movies, and traveling.

With the passing of Julius E. “Beau” Dunn, Jr., M.D., in

August, the Medical Alumni Association lost a dedicated

supporter and dear friend. A native of Wetumpka, Ala., he

graduated from the School of Medicine in 1961 with honors.

He followed that with an internship at the Philadelphia Naval

Hospital until 1962 and training in Pensacola, Fla., whereupon

he became a Naval Flight Surgeon. In 1966, he and his wife,

Mary Elizabeth (“Ebba”) Kendall Dunn returned to Wetumpka

where he joined his father in the practice of family medicine.

Father and son would practice together until Dr. Julius E.

Dunn, Sr.’s retirement in 1983. In 1990, Spencer J. Coleman,

M.D., joined his practice. He is known to have said that

serving the community in Wetumpka was one of the greatest

blessings of his life.

Dr. Dunn was not only active in his Wetumpka community

through his medical practice but also through his civic

involvement. He served as a member of multiple local

boards and chaired the Elmore Community Hospital and

the Wetumpka Water Works and Sewer Board, overseeing

the building of a multimillion-dollar facility to serve the

growing area. He served as president of the Medical Alumni

Association from 1970 to 1971. Dr. Dunn would stay an active

voice within the Medical Alumni Association for many years

after his term as president.

The field of medicine was always held to high regard in

the Dunn household, so much so that recently the couple

donated multiple items to UAB’s Historical Collections

Alabama Museum of the Health Sciences.

The first donated item (pictured at right, center) was given

by Mrs. Mary Elizabeth (“Ebba”) Dunn—a Civil War-era

Hernstein & Son Surgical Kit issued by the U.S. Army.

Mrs. Dunn shared that the surgical kit belonged to her

great-grandfather, Allen O. Kendall, M.D. Dr. Kendall and his

wife reared Mrs. Dunn’s father after the passing of his mother

from childbirth fever when he was only five weeks old. The

surgical kit was given to him, and he in turn gave it to Mrs.

Dunn. The surgical set, stored in its original mahogany case,

dates from 1861. The set’s saw design was influenced by an

early French design, and the instruments are ivory handled.

The second donated item was a medical bag frequently

used by Dr. Beau Dunn. It was given to him from the Lily

Company upon graduation from the School of Medicine in

1961. The third item (pictured at bottom) was another medical

bag gifted to Dr. Dunn from the Upjohn Company that he

received after graduation.

Other items donated include an encyclopedia of Civil War

medical instruments, miscellaneous medicines, and a porcelain

bed pan. The Historical Collections is thankful for these items

given in Dr. Dunn’s memory. He will be greatly missed.
