1st Annual Andrew H. Kaplan, MD, Memorial Lecture
Thursday, November 15th, 2007, Noon
4th Floor Old Clinic Building Auditorium
Next Thursday, November 15th, the Department of Medicine Grand Rounds (12 pm, Clinical Auditorium, 4th Floor Old Clinic Building), will be in memory of Dr. Andrew Kaplan, our friend and colleague. The speaker will be Dr. Frederick L. Brancati, MD, MHS, Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology and Chief, Division of General Internal Medicine at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. His talk is entitled: The Epidemic of Type 2 Diabetes and Its Complications in African Americans. Dr. Brancati was a childhood friend of Dr. Kaplan and is a noted scholar.
Andrew Kaplan graduated from Harvard College in 1981 and from Columbia University School of Medicine in 1985. He first came to UNC as a resident in internal medicine (1985-1988) when he joined the Division of Infectious Diseases as an ID fellow and began working in Ronald Swanstrom’s laboratory on HIV. That was the beginning of a productive career at UNC, at UCLA and then back at UNC as a faculty member and colleague. At the time of his sudden death on June 28, 2006, he had three current NIH RO-1 awards and ran the ID Fellowship Training Program. Beyond his scholarship, he was known as a superb clinician and a beloved teacher on the hospital wards. He was a wonderful colleague with a great sense of humor who is dearly missed.
He died leaving his widow, Carol Golin, MD, a member of the UNC faculty and his children Daniel (13 years old) and Emily (10 years old). We have established The Andrew H. Kaplan Memorial Lectureship within the Infectious Diseases Division here at UNC Chapel Hill.
