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
- 3 -
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

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.
