College
After a good education but lackluster performance at Albion, a year of "post undergraduate" at Michigan. Same tune, different beat. Then I worked in the UofM Med School Pharmacy Department for a year. I then entered the University of Missouri Medical School in the Physiology & Pharmacology Department. Discovered epidemiology, changed careers and my life. Love epi still. I regret my academic immaturity in those early years, but wouldn't change the outcome.
