Long-time educator and physician retires
By Paul McLeod Dennis Mayeaux, M. D., is retiring after 22 years of service to the College of Medicine. Mayeaux served in a clerkship director role( Family Medicine, informatics and Geriatrics) since we opened the doors to accept our first class in 2003.
Mayeaux always went far above and beyond as a mentor, teacher and friend. He gave his time, talent and money to our College of Medicine( despite the fact that he is a diehard Hurricane and Gator).
Many times over the years, he and I have shared our sense of gratitude and wonder that two family docs from rural Milton, Florida, could play a pivotal role in implementing this amazing model of medical education.
Every student who has walked through the doors of our college of medicine campus has benefited from the knowledge, skills and leadership of Dr. Mayeaux. We can’ t really thank him enough for the impact he had on our program and the people who were lucky enough to work with him.
Robert Wilson receives Hippocratic Award
Bob Wilson, M. D.
Robert“ Dr. Bob” Wilson,
M. D., longtime clerkship director for Pediatrics at the Pensacola Regional Campus, was selected to receive the Hippocratic Award.
Hippocrates II, considered the Father of Medicine, was born on the Greek Island of Kos in the fifth century BC and is remembered for his teaching and practice of medicine. The image of him teaching students under a tree has become a powerful symbol of Hippocratic Medicine, and students at many medical schools recite the Hippocratic Oath prior to graduation.
The Hippocratic Award has been established at the FSU College of Medicine to recognize an outstanding physician faculty member who embodies the attributes of the Hippocratic Oath.
The FSU College of Medicine has acquired a cutting of the original Hippocratic tree from the Island of Kos( from a cutting that was acquired in 1969 by the University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville). This cutting has been planted in the Chapman Wellness Garden at the FSU College of Medicine and will be the permanent site of the annual award ceremony.
"' Dr. Bob ' has been a great mentor for all his medical students," said Paul McLeod, M. D., dean of the Pensacola Regional Campus. " He cares deeply for his patients and has a passion for mentorship and furthering the profession of medicine. He is humble, respectful, and is a worthy recipient for the Hippocrates award."
