In honor of the College of Medicine’s 125th Anniversary, UNMC Today spoke with some retired faculty members and reflected on their years in the college.
Today we hear from H.W. McFadden Jr., M.D., a UNMC graduate who joined the faculty in 1949 and chaired the department of medical microbiology. A nationally-recognized pathologist, Dr. McFadden retired in 1985.
The basic concern for the patient’s well being remains the same in the College of Medicine, but the technology and advancement in knowledge has been immense.
My advice to current medical students? Learn as much as you can in med school. As soon as you get out of med school/residency, you are already behind.
