\nJerry Jones, M.D.<\/span>
\n<\/TD>
\n<\/TR>
\n<\/TABLE>Dr. Jones was an intern and had two years of surgical training at the University of Michigan hospital, and then served as a captain in the burn unit at the Brook Army Medical Hospital before finding his passion for pathology. He completed his residency in pathology at UNMC and joined the faculty as a surgical pathologist. He developed special expertise in microbiology and dermatopathology and was the first to report an algae infection in a human.<\/p>\n

During Dr Jones’ 53-year career at UNMC he became the first board-certified forensic pathologist in Nebraska, which led to a modernization of the field throughout the state. <\/p>\n

While on the faculty he received multiple teaching awards from the medical students and residents.<\/p>\n

See Dr. Jones’ obituary in the Omaha World-Herald<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

He did groundbreaking research on shaken baby syndrome, lecturing on this subject in the U.S. and overseas, including in Vienna and at Trinity College in Dublin.<\/p>\n

Prior to medical school, Dr. Jones played fullback at Yale University.<\/p>\n

“Jerry was an outstanding pathologist, educator, and a wonderful person, supportive of the department and the College of Medicine,” said colleague Sam Cohen, M.D., Ph.D. “He had a passion for his work, for his family and for his golf. It was a pleasure to work with him.”<\/p>\n

“Jerry was a superb pathologist, both clinical and anatomic. He also did excellent forensic pathology,” said colleague James Newland, M.D. “Dr. Jones was beloved by his residents. He was an outstanding, respected teacher and scholar. Jerry had an astute, experienced eye in surgical pathology and a deep knowledge of mycology. Practicing pathology with residents was a joy for him. Dr. Jones had the respect of laboratory personnel and administrative staff. We all thought highly of him.”<\/p>\n

“I continue to hear from former residents who were greatly impacted by Dr. Jones who influenced their decision to become forensic pathologists. His legacy will continue in the many people he mentored and trained,” said Steven Hinrichs, M.D., department chair. <\/p>\n
