George, DO, ACGP President,1996-1997\n\nInterviewees: Archival \u0026 Historical Committee\n\nDate: July 15, 2012\n\nLocation: Chicago, Illinois\n\nDr. Robert J. George has the distinction of being the longest serving member on the ACGP Board. In his 15 years of service, he has had the opportunity to serve 14 presidents as well as filling that position himself from 1996-1997. Among his many memories he especially recalls the acquisition of the property and the subsequent construction of the ACGP building in Chicago, Illinois. He says, “Long story short, we built a $1.2 million building for $1,200 of interest.” It was made possible by the organization’s wise use of its CDs and a bridge loan from a bank. Also of importance during his presidency was the implementation of the stepwise increments in the dues’ structure which allowed for smaller increases stretched out over several years. \n\nWhen Dr. George was asked to join the Board in 1983, it was because of his involvement in graduate medical education as well as the fact that he was practicing family medicine at a hospital in Cleveland, Ohio. He began his 28 years there working in the ER. While there, he set up student rotations in Kansas City which prompted the hospital to ask him to be Director of Medical Education (DME). He did; but upon one condition. He wanted to continue seeing patients so he could remain clinical and have his own practice. Eventually he became the Medical Director of the hospital. His involvement in education was deepened when he became president of the Academy of Osteopathic Directors of Medical Education from 1985 to 1987. \n\nActing as Dean in LECOM at Bradenton, he is starting to see students swing back to primary care. “That’s a great sign,” he boasts. He sees this momentum happening at the MD hospital in Bradenton, Manatee Memorial, where a training program in family medicine will begin in 2011. He credits much of this trend to the fact that many of the students are rotating in excellent residency programs with ACOFP staff. “The ACOFP gives them a home, an organization, to rely on,” he explains. Dr. George believes that if the students have osteopathic mentors and good people, they will be drawn to primary care and osteopathic principles","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://centerforthehistoryoffamilymedicine.aviaryplatform.com/collections/3490/collection_resources/162259/file/295021#t=0.0,2400.384"}]}]}]}
