dean’s message
S
ince 1807, the University of Maryland School of Medicine has continuously evolved to meet the challenges of remaining innovative in teaching,
clinical care, research and community engagement. As the state’s only
public medical school, we play a crucial role in the health care of the citizens of Maryland and beyond. More than two centuries of hard work and
creativity by our dedicated faculty, staff, trainees and ardent supporters has
secured for the school a place in the top-tier of American medical schools.
While celebrating our successes of the past and present, we must prepare for the future, and we must strive to build on our achievements and
move to the next level of distinction. To that end, we recently published
our 2010–2015 strategic plan entitled Taking a Quantum Leap Forward,
which sets forth a series of road maps that will catapult us to even greater
success.
Our goal is to improve our already strong performance in the mission

values and vision and energized by our past accomplishments.
The innovative road maps within our strategic plan will help us create
an even more educationally rich and nurturing environment for our students;
lead us to a better understanding of diseases in order to increase discoveries which translate into
better health for our communities; develop more interdisciplinary clinical centers of excellence; and
engage our constituencies to better help them
achieve and maintain very good health and
well-being.
It was a challenging task to put together
a road map for our future when our present has, at times, seemed so uncertain. The
economic turbulence in Maryland and across
the nation—indeed throughout the world—certainly has been felt at our school. However, we have
set our sights on better days ahead, and, by implementing this strategic plan, I believe we will take a
quantum leap forward to achieve these transformative goals.
Highlights from each of our mission area road maps include:
There is a wealth of opportunity available to us in the years
ahead, and it is important that we remain inspired by our
values and vision and energized by our past accomplishments.
Education
Increase individual learning opportunities within the curriculum to maximize student participation
in high quality research and increase opportunities to participate in community service activities
Research
Launch new major collaborative, multidisciplinary, extramurally-funded programs that will study
broad and complex conditions
Clinical Care
Launch new multidisciplinary centers of excellence and destination programs for disorders associated with high morbidity and mortality
Community Engagement
Promote community service and outreach as a valued and rewarded academic activity and create a
recognition plan to publicly acknowledge outstanding community engagement
Our strategic plan was very much a group effort, and as such I very much encourage alumni and
friends to take a vested interest in this innovative plan and to join us as we take this quantum leap
together.

Improving Cognition
For the first time, scientists have linked
a brain compound called kynurenic acid to cognition, possibly opening doors for new ways to enhance
memory function and treat catastrophic brain diseases,
according to a Maryland study. When researchers
decreased the levels of kynurenic acid in the brains of
mice, their cognition was shown to improve markedly,
according to the study, which was published in the July
issue of the journal Neuropsychopharmacology. The study
is the result of decades of pioneering research in the lab
of Robert Schwarcz, PhD, professor of psychiatry, pediatrics and pharmacology and experimental therapeutics.
“We believe that interventions aimed specifically
at reducing the level of kynurenic acid in the brain
are a promising strategy for cognitive improvement in
both healthy individuals and in those suffering from a
variety of brain diseases ranging from schizophrenia to
Alzheimer’s disease,” says Schwarcz.
Kynurenic acid is a substance with unique biological
properties and is produced when the brain metabolizes
the amino acid L-tryptophan. The compound is related
to another breakdown product of tryptophan known as
quinolinic acid. In 1983, Schwarcz published a paper in
the journal Science identifying the critical role excessive
quinolinic acid plays in the neurodegenerative disorder
Huntington’s disease. He has since designed a therapeutic strategy targeting quinolinic acid for the treatment
of Huntington’s disease. Schwarcz also is involved in a
company called VistaGen, which pursues the development of neuroprotective drugs based on this concept.
In the study published in July,
Schwarcz and his colleagues at
the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center examined mice
that had been genetically engineered to have more than 70 percent lower kynurenic acid levels
than ordinary mice. These mice
were found to perform significantRobert Schwarcz, PhD
ly better than their normal peers
on several widely used tests that
specifically measure function in the hippocampus—a
critical area of the brain for memory and spatial navigation. The mice were clearly superior in their ability to
explore and recognize objects, to remember unpleasant
experiences and to navigate a maze. The engineered
animals also showed increased hippocampal plasticity,
meaning they had a greatly improved ability to convert
electrical stimuli into long-lasting memories.
“These results are very exciting because they open
up an entirely new way of thinking about the formation
and retrieval of memories,” says Schwarcz. “Kynurenic
acid has been known for more than 150 years, but only
now do we recognize it as a major player in one of the
fundamental functions of the brain. Our most recent
work, still unpublished, shows that new chemicals that
specifically influence the production of kynurenic acid
in the brain predictably affect cognition. We are now in
the process of developing such compounds for cognitive
enhancement in humans.”

A Medical Labyrinth: the Plot Thickens
B y J o h n D o v e , M B B S , L R C P, F R C S , M s c .
I suspect that not even Phil Mackowiak,
’70, creator of Maryland’s popular historical
clinicopathological conference could have
foreseen the consequences when he invited
me to present the history of Simon Bolivar,
the liberator of South America, at his 17th
conference on April 30.
Simon Bolivar was chosen as a subject
because there has been considerable controversy not only as to the cause of his death
but also regarding the medical bona fide of
the doctor who treated him. Bolivar is the
national hero of Venezuela, and President
Hugo Chávez had already set up a team
to investigate the cause of Bolivar’s death;
so when he became aware of Mackowiak’s
conference he sent his representatives to
Baltimore.
Based on my research into Bolivar’s
medical history, Paul G. Auwaerter, MD,
MBA, FACP, specialist in infectious
diseases at Johns Hopkins and clinical
discussant at the conference, came up with
the suggestion that at least some of Bolivar’s terminal symptoms could have been
the result of arsenic given as part of the
medication for Bolivar’s repeated attacks of
malaria. This gave rise to great excitement
in certain quarters in Venezuela because
this was thought to lend credence to the
idea that Bolivar might have been deliberately poisoned.
I am now in close contact with members
of President Chávez’s investigation team
and was recently invited to Caracas to take
part in the celebrations in relation to Venezuela’s 200th anniversary of independence
and the anniversary of Bolivar’s birthday
on July 24.
Under conditions of proper scientific
rigour Bolivar’s tomb has now been opened,
and the few scraps of bone and teeth are
at present being evaluated. The scientific
study of the few remains from the tomb
will take some months. The first point to
be established is as to whether or not there
will be sufficient material for DNA analysis
because it will need to be established as
to whether or not the remains are indeed
those of Simon Bolivar. The reason for
this is that prior to Bolivar’s body being
transferred to Venezuela and while it was
still lying in Santa Marta, Colombia, there
was a major earthquake, and the burial urns
were all jumbled up. It was announced in
Caracas that the tomb of Bolivar’s sister,
Maria Antonia, will be opened so that
DNA comparisons can be carried out.
Through my liaison with the investigation team in Caracas, I am working towards
setting up a major international conference in
Caracas in 2011 at which
we should be able to come
to as definitive a decision
as possible regarding how
Bolivar died.

Making a Difference
Behind every triumph is motive, the incentive that drives heroism, builds
cities, and saves the lives of children in far-flung places. Maryland faculty,
active in 23 developing countries across six continents, share a common incentive—to fight the catastrophic diseases affecting the most impoverished
people in the world. Their combined track record of success places them
among the first and foremost of those responding to the call of global medicine. Theirs is the kind of success that is powered by
deep, personal concern that their work will make a
difference. They cheerfully tackle stifling heat, Monsoon rain, and distance from family, and talk instead of
camaraderie among colleagues and the satisfaction of
being part of the team.

Physicians and health care professionals at the institute of human
virology (IHV) battle against AIDS in seven African and two Caribbean
countries, where the university’s PEPFAR funding (the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) recently exceeded $100 million in support of
research, clinical care, and training of medical health care providers.
On another part of the medical school campus, the center for vaccine
development (CVD) was founded in 1974 (long before the phrase “global
health” was coined), and has since expanded its presence throughout
the world, developing and testing vaccines against devastating diseases
worldwide.

such training in infectious diseases to doctors in rural areas
of Africa and the Caribbean are both creative and effective.
Redfield highlights the story of a young physician who
graduated from medical school and was mentored in clinical
medicine by IHV staff in Kenya. The young physician is
a medical resident and soon will complete a fellowship in
infectious diseases. After that, he will return to Nairobi to
provide clinical leadership and train the next generation
of Kenyan doctors in infectious diseases in his homeland,
thereby breaking the cycle of need for physicians to leave
the country to receive advanced clinical education.
“So far, our educational efforts have placed highly
trained infectious disease specialists in Kenya, Nigeria, and
Zambia,” Redfield says.
In fact, African physicians now are leading IHV’s clinical
education efforts in Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Nigeria,
and Zambia. Another phase of clinical training is IHV ’s
assertive progress in establishing strategic alliances with key
institutions which will become sources for faculty recruitment. For example, in Zambia, in partnership with the
University of Zambia, IHV and Zambian faculty teamed
together three yeas ago to create a one-year advanced clinical training program in HIV, TB, and malaria.
“We are on target in providing advanced clinical training
to approximately 15 percent of all Zambian practicing
physicians upon completion of the program’s fifth year,”
Redfield says.
Education Key
In both Africa and the Caribbean, Robert Redfield, MD,
professor of medicine, and IHV division head, focuses on
furthering the work of the institute through education, specifically advanced training of health care providers native
to the region who work in local clinics and hospitals. He
explains the program works in several ways.
“We’re training local health providers,” he says. “We
also have a repatriation program, in which we are identifying highly trained African physicians, now working in the
US, and encouraging them to return to Africa. We also
Plowe’s study, conducted in Mali, West Africa, is sponsored by the U.S. Army, and funded by the NIH, the U.S.
Agency for International Development, and the Howard
Hughes Medical Institute. It shows a new vaccine tested
against malaria to be safe in children. The study includes
antibodies found on some children for up to two years.
Results of approximately 400 children in the phase II trial
indicate a significantly higher level of antibodies with the
new vaccine than with any previously tested.
“We’re not home yet, but our results are very encouraging,” Plowe reports. “Right now, we’re trying to determine which dose will provide the most effective immune
response. ”
Kirsten Lyke, MD, associate professor of medicine, whose
work is centered on malaria in
Bandiagara, Mali, talks of the
partnerships that underline malaria prevention.
“The relationship between
CVD and the University of
Bamako is an established medical
collaboration,” she says. “What
the American partners have to offer is access to grants and funding,
as well as a higher graduate level
of training.”
In the year 2000, the incidence
of childhood malaria in Bandiagara was between one and two
infections a year per child. Prior
to the Mali year-round presence
of CVD and Malian investigators,
50 percent of youngsters with the
most severe form of the disease,
cerebral malaria, died. That number has been dramatically reduced
to about two percent of children
between one and six, as a result
of intervention by CVD and the
University of Bamako.
Lyke, who has a young son,
now confines her work primarily to Baltimore, conducting immunology trials. She says she misses the flexibility
of having her “feet on the ground in Mali” and hopes to
return in the near future.
“Whether I’m here or there, the real reward in this work
is making a difference in helping an underserved population,” she says. “We have a role in the basic science, the
testing of a vaccine or drug, taking it to the field, and then
processing samples back here. Our work comes full circle,
and that’s rewarding.”
Hope Against Malaria
Malaria cases worldwide number more than a million each
year. The most vulnerable victims are African children.
According to the WHO, a child dies of the disease every
30 seconds, and there is no vaccine approved for malaria.
Robert Redfield, MD
are providing training in internal medicine and infectious
diseases to African physicians.”
Doctors, especially those in leadership roles, are critically needed in local clinics and hospitals. Redfield notes
those who train in Africa and then come to the US to
practice, as well as those who train here and remain, are
not entirely motivated by lifestyle or income.
“Many of these physicians have a sense of deep loyalty
to their homeland,” he says. “They come to the US and
Europe to practice because they don’t have the technology
in their own country, and because there is limited opportunity for advanced clinical training in their homeland.”

Drug Resistance
So far, defense has been limited to the use of insecticides
and mosquito netting. Drugs are available, but resistance
to the medications is high. Children who have yet to build
immunity to the parasite that causes malaria are hardest
hit. That’s why results of research headed by Christopher
Plowe, MD, MPH, professor of medicine and chief of CVD’s
Malaria section, are being met with considerable optimism
by the scientific community.

In Malawi, Africa, the fight waged by CVD against malaria
continues, where Miriam Laufer, MD, MPH, assistant professor of pediatrics, monitors resistance to drugs, focusing
on preventing the spread of drug resistance among malaria
patients.

that became ineffective during the spread of resistance de-

cades ago, and now is no longer used in most sub-Saharan
Africa,” Laufer says. “We questioned what happened once
countries stopped using it. Did chloroquine resistance
continue or did the chloroquine susceptible parasites
come back?”
The team first did a study of parasite genetics and found
that the chloroquine susceptible malaria had, in fact, returned to Malawi. Laufer and colleagues then conducted a
clinical study to show that chloroquine worked in treating
malaria in children, as published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2006. This phenomenon has occurred
only in Malawi, the first country to stop using it to treat
malaria. Chloroquine-resistant malaria is still common in
the countries surrounding Malawi, but a similar trend is
expected in those countries in the next five to 10 years.
Clinical trials have begun among pregnant women, a
population especially vulnerable because the disease affects
both mother and infant.
another field trial of a vaccine, MenAfriVac, that aims to
prevent a particularly explosive form of meningococcal
meningitis—a serious threat to Mali children and adults—
has been approved by WHO as a result of the trials.
“There are challenges in our work,” Tapia concedes.
“Local myths and misunderstandings often can keep a child
from getting the care he or she needs. But those challenges
can be overcome by patiently explaining the need for
intervention. In the end, the knowledge that we’re helping
so many people outdistances any difficulty.”

A Giant Step for

Robert Haddon, ’89
[ A lu m n u s P r o f i l e ]
Science fiction, the moon landings, and dreams of space exploration propelled by a boy’s imagination—these were
the building blocks of a self-styled future for Robert Haddon, ’89.
From an early age, Haddon was not only fascinated by the space program, he believed firmly and enthusiastically in its importance. He also wanted to become a doctor.
“It wasn’t until I got my MD and completed two residencies that I realized I could combine both interests in a
practical way,” Haddon says.
The physician who is board certified in internal medicine, infectious diseases and aerospace medicine, is today
flight surgeon at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Johnson Space Center, assigned
to supporting the International Space Station (ISS). The term “surgeon” is military jargon that doesn’t imply sur-
[36]
gical intervention, but responsibility
for maintaining health and performance in an aerospace environment.
Haddon assessing
It’s Haddon’s job to keep astronauts
a submerged space
well and physically fit both on earth
station mock up,
used for extraveand in space.
hicular training.
The ISS, which currently is in
orbit, was built by its international
partners including the space agencies
of Russia, Europe, Japan, Canada and
the US. Its mission is to study science
in space and, in the course of doing so,
the team is learning much about space
travel itself.
What are the challenges faced by a
physician charged with keeping astronauts fit for space flight?
“A great deal goes into ruling out
cardiovascular and bone loss issues,”
Haddon reports. “We deal too with
the neurological impact on astronauts,
and the whole range of environmental
quality, including air and food quality,
plus hygiene and potential changes in
one’s immune system. Then there are
questions such as which antibiotics do
you send into space for astronauts who
will be there for six months.”
He adds that emergency situations
are practiced through simulation, and
that there is a medical capacity in
orbit at the space station. An automatic external defibrillator, airway
equipment, supplemental oxygen, IV
fluids, an emergency kit, and a variety
of medications are available.
On an educational level, Haddon
studies and gives presentations to the
aerospace community on the ecology within the space station and how
humans, who are not sterile beings,
can be protected from the inevitable
microbial ecology within that environment.
“I once did a master’s thesis on air quality in a hyperbaric
chamber,” he says. “Now, ten years later, I’m facing similar
questions that theoretically mimic the same environment.”
Haddon spends two to three months of every year in Russia, supporting the American astronauts who are training on
Russian hardware. Since portions of the international space
station have been designed and built by different countries—
with some pieces assembled in orbit—training mock-ups
vary, requiring astronauts to spend time at each agency.
He admits the toughest part of his work is the separation
from his wife and two daughters necessitated by the months
he spends in Russia each year. He is quick to add, however,
that there is a flip side that has provided a family experience
probably only a few enjoy. Recently, his family spent three
weeks with him in Star City, Russia, where his daughters
maintained their studies by attending the Star City Music
School.
“We were there for the school’s 40th annual pageant,
and my girls were invited to play the piano for a Russian
audience,” he says. “It was an experience I think they will
treasure in years to come.”
Haddon’s spontaneous enthusiasm for his work is paired
with outspoken regard for his years at Maryland. He says
what he remembers most is working hard.
“I remember there was an emphasis on clinical thinking, not just ordering tests, and that has served me in good
stead through the years,” he says. “Culturally, there was an
interest in world history, as well as medical history, and the
relationship between medicine and civilization struck home
with me.”
A typical day for Haddon is probably spent primarily
in mission control, interacting with the team. He may rise
at 4:30 a.m., and set out to help monitor the physiological
performance of an astronaut. His responsibilities are varied,
but all are collaborative, within NASA, and among the ISS
international partners.
According to him, aerospace medicine has changed
considerably in the last 50 years, due to the increasing
sophistication of the program itself and the backgrounds
of astronauts. In the beginning, physically fit young people
were sent into space for short periods of time. While today’s
astronauts are still exceptionally fit, they are men and women who may have taken time to earn a couple of doctoral
degrees, and who have traveled in space many times or for
lengthy periods. Some have developed special skills requiring intense training. Aerospace medicine is a preventive
science, one that has become more multifaceted along with
the complexity of an astronaut’s age and background.
At times, talking to Haddon, one can see the boy who
graduated from science fiction to an absorption in the
space program. When asked about the rewards of his career
choice, he says simply that it is going to work each morning
and helping to advance a program he believes in. But then,
the voice gains momentum and he talks about watching a
space shuttle land in the California high desert, then driving up to it, climbing through the hatch, and taking care
of people who have just returned from space. It’s then that
one understands, not only the enormity of Haddon’s commitment to this mission, but the fun he has found living a
boyhood dream.

By Rita M. Rooney
and talk to colleagues at other
universities, the most common
lament I hear is that schools
don’t appreciate the efforts
made in teaching, and that
education is not a prime focus.
Unfortunately, too many talk
about good education, but they
don’t reward good educators.”
He says he once heard
someone claim that neither
Socrates nor Osler would
achieve tenure at most universities today. “Today’s emphasis
on grant-funded research is
certainly important,” he says.
“It’s good to realize, though,
that through the years, Maryland has recognized the importance of outstanding educators
and has rewarded dedicated educators accordingly.”
When it comes to education through lectures on the
national and international scene, he believes too many
physicians fail to understand the relevance of publishing
their presentations for a broader audience. Mattu sees
publication as a very “doable” advantage in being able
to disseminate one’s ideas widely.
Married to an internal medicine specialist in private
practice, he says his wife has caught the teaching bug
and is currently teaching physician assistants while
beginning to lecture as well. The Mattus have three
children, a nine-year-old son and six-year-old boy and
girl twins.
Probably every young medical student starts out with
a goal of changing the world, and Mattu was no different. He got his first and most important lesson toward
such an aim from an iconic figure at Maryland who had
already changed the world—Ted Woodward.
“His research and international work made him
famous,” Mattu says. “But it seemed clear to me that
it was teaching that made the greatest impact on his
career.”
He remembers once when a student asked Woodward about the importance of research and teaching in
medicine. Mattu says the answer was simple, memorable, and inspiring. It ended with the words, “We entrust
our scientists to discover the world, but our teachers to
change it.”
Hearing those words, Mattu quickly scribbled them
onto a piece of paper. He has carried the quote with
him for more than 17 years.
[ A lu m n u s P r o f i l e ]
Tenure and
Amal Mattu, ’93 Teaching
Mattu claims he chose
emergency medicine because
he enjoyed being the first
person to meet a patient
and come up with a diagnosis. He thinks of medicine,
in many ways, as solving
a mystery. In emergency
medicine a doctor gets the
first crack at the mystery.
Recently tenured alumnus Amal Mattu, ’93, professor of emergency
medicine at Maryland, is invested in teaching, a passion he developed from role models
he encountered during medical school. He singles out the late Theodore E. Woodward,
’38, whom he met during an internal medicine rotation in his third year.
“He inspired me to focus on emergency medicine, and caused me to think seriously
about the importance of teaching,” Mattu says. “It wasn’t what he taught as much as his
enthusiasm for the subject. He thoroughly believed that both medicine and teaching
should be fun, and he communicated that to those who were fortunate enough to be his
students.”
Mattu, who directs the emergency medicine residency program, has followed in
Woodward’s footsteps with numerous teaching awards, from five successive teacher of
the year awards at Mercy Medical Center and three similar citations from the medical school, to national honors from the American College of Emergency Physicians
and American Academy of Emergency Medicine. He is a frequent invited lecturer at
academic institutions throughout the country and in places as far-flung as India and
China. In the US, presentations at national conferences include stops at Harvard,
Yale, Stanford, Mayo Clinic, Columbia, Brown, Vanderbilt, University of Pennsylvania, Hopkins, and others.
He separates teaching into the kind that is done concurrently with clinical care
from the bedside, and that which is performed on the lecture circuit—generally to
practicing emergency physicians. Is there a secret to his success?
“I can only say that, from the start, I found myself standing in front of people and
trying to make things simple,” he says. “I’m a simple-minded person. I don’t grasp
complex concepts. I’ve come to realize that students, residents, and physicians who
have been in practice for 20 years all want the same—a lesson that is simple, straightforward and fun.”
Mattu claims he chose emergency medicine because he enjoyed being the first person to meet a patient and come up with a diagnosis. He thinks of medicine, in many
ways, as solving a mystery. In emergency medicine a doctor gets the first crack at the
mystery.
“We can’t always provide definitive treatment,” he acknowledges. “But it’s our role
to see that a patient is headed in the right direction.”
He admits he is partial to emergency medicine because of the variety of patients
who come through the ER doors. He has no idea when he arrives each day what the
next eight hours will bring, and he enjoys that.
He refers to his national and international presentations as a “nerdy hobby.” Following his residency in emergency medicine he served a teaching fellowship at the
American College of Emergency Physicians, and it gave him an opportunity to hone in
on teaching skills and do some public speaking. To this day he enjoys reading books on
the subject and says he learns a little more, or a different technique, from each one. In
[38]
addition, he audio and videotapes his presentations to
pinpoint areas where he needs improvement.
“You can never settle for where you are in life,” he
says pragmatically. He appears to be emphasizing this
theory in his leadership of the emergency medicine
residency program. In that role, he has spearheaded
a program to develop leaders in the field of academic
emergency medicine. Residents and faculty are encouraged, through innovative curricula and mentoring
initiatives, to become engaged in writing, teaching, and
service. He has expanded clinical rotations to include
more critical care, pediatric, international, and community opportunities, as well as didactic and reading
curriculum emphasizing geriatrics, cardiology, and risk
management in emergency medicine. The result is that
the department currently receives more than 1,000
applications each year for 11 residency positions.
“Ours is the only residency program that, in addition to a categorical program in emergency medicine,
has three combined programs in emergency medicine/
internal medicine, emergency medicine/pediatrics, and
emergency medicine/internal medicine/critical care,”
Mattu reports.
Mattu has been first author on two books, senior editor on three, and associate editor on another four. The
focus of most of his books has been electrocardiogram
interpretation and other high-risk topics in the emergency department.
Looking back at his schooling, Mattu says he is most
appreciative of Maryland’s commitment to education.
“This is not something that is found in every school
of medicine,” he says. When I travel around the country

In 1850, Maryland’s faculty voted
to alter one of their graduation
requirements—for a third time
since the school’s founding in 1807.
Initially students were required to
publish a thesis, written in Latin. In
1817 the “publication” requirement
was dropped, and in 1824 the thesis
could be written in English. Now,
faculty announced they would allow
a clinical case study to substitute
for the required thesis.
In 1990, Richard F. Leighton, class of
1955, was appointed vice president
for academic affairs and dean of the

Class of ’12 off to Rotations
A simple but elegant ceremony in Davidge Hall on July 2 marked the beginning of rotations for the third-year class of 2012. For several years now the
clinician ceremony has served as the official sendoff into the hospital wards
and clinics. This year’s class of 156 was treated to a keynote address by Michael S. Donnenberg, MD, professor of medicine, and an address by Bruce E.
Jarrell, MD, FACS, vice dean. Each class member received a gold pin to add
to his/her white coat and recited a student clinician oath. The event was officiated by Donna Parker, ’86, assistant dean for student affairs and sponsored
by the Medical Alumni Association.
Class of ’14 Checks in
Davidge Hall served as the welcoming venue for 160 first-year medical
students as they reported to campus August 12 as members of the class of
2014. Following a trend that began in 1996, this group has a female majority
(60%). They posted an average MCAT score of 32 with a 3.73 GPA. Roughly 80 percent are residents of the State of Maryland who will be paying nearly
$25,000 this year in tuition and fees; the figure is twice that amount for outof-state students. Members were selected from a pool of 5,000 applicants.
Student Clinician Oath
“As I begin this next stage of my medical education, I
pledge to act in the best interests of my patients and to
serve them with integrity, compassion, and respect for
their beliefs and circumstances. In doing so, I will remember that warmth, empathy, and the art of medicine
are as vital as scientific knowledge to the care I provide
as a healer, educator, and advocate. To these goals, I
dedicate myself in the honorable traditions of the School
of Medicine.”

Endowed Faculty Positions Key to Medical School’s Excellence
Raising funds to establish endowed
professorships in the medical school
remains a high priority because of
the powerful impact they have on
recruiting and retaining outstanding faculty. The availability of an
endowed position can often make the
difference in a successful recruitment.
The medical school currently has fifty
endowed positions, a number that
doubled during the bicentennial capital campaign that concluded in 2007.
As the school moves forward with a
new campaign, new professorships are
at the top of the list in importance.
The endowed positions come in
different forms. An endowed chair
of a clinical or basic sciences department requires a gift of $2.5 million
while a professorship is $1.5 million.
A distinguished professorship requires
the same amount as a chair—$2.5
million. The school’s case for support
highlights several priority areas that
are seeking such endowed positions
in order to strengthen their level of
excellence.
A high mark of distinction, a
named professorship is often the
interest of a grateful patient who is
capable of making a large gift in support of a physician who has provided
care to the patient or a loved one. In
2009, for example, the Hales Family
Foundation contributed $2.5 million
to establish the Thomas and Marie
Hales Distinguished Professorship in
Transplant Surgery. Hales had been
a patient of Bartley P. Griffith, MD,
who was appointed the inaugural
recipient of the position. Griffith is
professor of surgery and head, division
of cardiac surgery. Several endowed
positions have been established
through generous gifts by medical
alumni as well.
In virtually all cases, these significant gifts of endowed faculty positions

are made by a single donor who may
make a single payment or multiple
payments over three to five years. Professors are appointed to the positions
after they have been funded in full.
Professorships may be established with
the promise of a future gift by bequest,
although they cannot be filled until
the funds are received.
[42]
In less frequent cases, endowed positions have been established through
gifts from multiple donors in honor
of a special person. An example of an
endowed fund that is growing toward
the professorship level of $1.5 million
is the endowment for Elijah Saunders, ’60. This fund was established
to serve as an endowment supporting
the division of cardiology, hypertension section, with the provision that it
would become a professorship once it
reaches the minimum required level.
The fund currently stands at slightly
under $1 million in contributions and
pledges. Saunders is professor of medicine in the division and was recipient
of the 2010 MAA Honor Award &
Gold Key. Once additional contributions reach $1.5 million, the Saunders
Professorship will be established and
exist in perpetuity. Parties interested
in donating to the fund may contact
the development office.
After an endowment is established
and a faculty member is appointed to
the role, the school holds an investiture ceremony that gathers the
academic community, the donor’s
family and friends, as well as board
members and other advocates of the
school. The program features a formal
investing of the faculty member by the
dean and testimonials by mentors of
the newly installed chair or professor.
It also includes remarks by the donor.
These events have become wonderful
celebrations of accomplishment and
philanthropy.
As the school continues its ascent
through the ranks of the top-tier
medical institutions, endowed chairs,
professorships, and distinguished professorships provide the fuel to recruit
and retain star physicians, scientists,
and teachers who lead the way.

4) Hedging conversions—implemented as a hedge
against the likelihood of a higher income and or estate tax

involve a situation where a married taxpayer currently filing a joint tax return expects to file a single income tax return in the future (has a smaller personal deduction in the
future) or simply anticipates higher income tax rates in
the future as seemingly is expected for the upcoming tax
years. An estate tax hedge may result from the payment of
conversion related income tax prior to the imposition of
the estate tax by reducing the amount of the IRA that will
be included in the taxable estate by the income tax paid
upon conversion.
Whether your motivation is related to income tax
planning, retirement asset management, or estate planning and wealth transfer, if you have not done so already,
it is prudent to seek Roth IRA conversion analysis and
advice from a qualified tax professional before the 2010
tax year comes to a close.
n January 1, 2010, the requirement of having $100,000
or less in modified adjusted gross income to be eligible
for Roth IRA conversions was eliminated as a result of
the further enactment of the Tax Increase Prevention
and Reconciliation Act of 2005 (“TIPRA”) provisions.
In addition, TIPRA created an incentive for Roth IRA
conversions for 2010 as for that year only, a taxpayer may
equally split the resulting income impact over the 2011
and 2012 tax years unless he or she elects to report it all in
2010. As the end of tax year 2010 approaches, traditional
IRA owners should determine whether a full or a partial
conversion to a Roth IRA will provide financial value as
an income tax planning, retirement asset management, or
estate planning and wealth transfer strategy.
With the passage of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997,
the Roth IRA became available as a new type of retirement asset. It differs from the traditional IRA primarily
in the form of taxation. Generally, traditional IRAs offer
the ability to accumulate pre-tax dollars, allow earnings to
grow tax deferred, and subject the future distributions to
ordinary income taxation. Roth IRAs, however, offer the
ability to accumulate after-tax dollars, either through contributions (subject to income eligibility) or conversions of
traditional IRAs, and allow the earnings to grow tax free,
exempting future qualifying distributions from income tax
altogether. Traditional IRA balances may be converted
to Roth IRAs either in part or as a whole, and there is no
limit on how often one can convert IRA balances. Under
certain circumstances, a conversion reversal within prescribed time limits, which is termed a recharacterization,
can be utilized should a Roth IRA conversion not achieve
the expected results.
Tax advisors and wealth planning practitioners have
identified four general categories of Roth IRA conversions:
1) Strategic conversions—undertaken by IRA owners that view their IRA more as a wealth transfer tool to
create a legacy for a future generation than as a retirement
funding asset. The Roth IRA may provide for greater
wealth accumulation potential as the owner is not subject
to the required minimum distribution rules after attaining
age 70½ and conversion related taxes can be paid from a
non-IRA source without being treated as a gift to the IRA
beneficiary.
2) Tactical conversions—executed to generate taxable
income in the year of conversion (or the following two
years, in the case of a 2010 conversion) that can offset
unused special tax attributes such as net operating loss

Nathan Schnaper, ’49
athan Schnaper,
’49, a distinguished
psychiatrist and
revered member of
Maryland’s faculty
since 1954 whose
signature wardrobe
included red sox
and matching bow
tie, died on August 23 at the
age of 92.
Born in Baltimore, Schnaper graduated from Polytechnic
Institute in 1936 and received
a BS degree at Washington
College in Chestertown, Md.,
in 1940. He taught science
for one year at Patterson Park
High School before enlisting in the U.S. Army during
World War II. He served in
the Pacific Theater with the
118th General Hospital of
Johns Hopkins University as
the NCO-in-charge of laboratory until discharge in 1945.
He returned to Baltimore and
enrolled at Maryland, graduating with honors in 1949.
Schnaper served a rotating internship with the U.S.
Public Health Service Hospital in Baltimore and received
residency training in psychiatry at Sheppard Pratt Hospital from 1950 to 1953.
In 1954, he became an instructor in psychiatry at
Maryland, was promoted to associate in psychiatry in
1956, associate clinical professor in 1967, and professor in
1974. In 1972, Schnaper was named chief of the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medicine psychiatric branch
and, in 1976, was made chief of psycho-social services at
the cancer center. He received another appointment—
professor of oncology—1982. Teaching also included appointments as instructor in psychiatry at Johns Hopkins
School of Medicine from 1953 to 1955 and 1960 to 1961.
Research interests
focused on psychological
implications of severe
and multiple trauma,
cancer, and AIDS, as
Schnaper worked with
terminal patients as well
as the families. He was a
frequent lecturer on these
and related topics, and
his teaching of residents
and oncology fellows
centered on helping them
overcome insecurities
of specializing in a field
where success is often
measured more in easing
pain and suffering rather
than curing a patient.
Schnaper retired in 1996
but continued working
part time at the Marlene
& Stuart Greenebaum
Cancer Center until
a few weeks before his
death.
Schnaper received
numerous awards including the distinguished alumnus
award from Washington College in 1975 and humanitarian of the year by the Arlene R. Wyman Guild in 1983.
The Nathan Schnaper Summer Scholars Program was
established in his honor at Maryland’s cancer center.
Publications included I Pay You to Listen, Not Talk: A
Psychiatrist’s 50-Year Odyssey in 2003.
As a member of the class of 1949, Schnaper was an
active alumnus and organized many of his class reunions.
He was elected to a three-year term on the MAA Board
of Directors in 1977 and was a member of the John Beale
Davidge Alliance—the medical school’s society for major
donors. Survivors include wife Roslyn, son H. William,
’75, Lauren A., ’81, five grandchildren, and two
great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by
one grandson.

Dr. Levin was an instructor in medicine at
Maryland and served on the staffs of Sinai
and Baltimore County General Hospitals.
During the medical school’s bicentennial convocation ceremony in 2007, Levin
represented his class on the stage and
was the most senior-ranking graduate to
participate. Survivors include wife Ethel,
two daughters, five grandchildren, and 14
great-grandchildren.
Dr. Lavenstein received pediatrics residency training at Maryland and afterwards
established a private practice in Baltimore.
He developed an interest in allergy and
immunology, and his efforts contributed to
the creation of the allergy clinic at Johns
Hopkins. In 1962, Lavenstein’s research
showed that the antihistamine Cyproheptadine could also be used to enhance
weight gain and linear growth in children.
He continued practicing into the 21st century. Lavenstein is survived by wife Eleanor,
two sons including Bennett L., ’70, and his
daughter-in-law Judy Gadol, ’75, and two
grandchildren.
Dr. Sherry interned at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore and split residency training in pediatrics between Sinai and Grace New Haven
Hospital. He received two years of fellowship training in child psychiatry at Beth
Israel Hospital in Boston. In addition to
private practice, Sherry served as head of
pediatrics at McLean Hospital and Gaebler
Child Center, assistant clinical professor at
Harvard Medical school, and vice president
of the National Board of the Child Welfare
