Abstract | Dr. Franklin Tew discusses his career as a cardiologist in private practice in Orlando, Fls. Dr. Tew graduated from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine in 1969 as well as UNC-Chapel Hill as an undergraduate in 1965. He discusses his upbringing in a small town in rural North Carolina, and how it contrasted to Chapel Hill in his college years. He also reflects on his medical education, his subsequent residency and the career that followed. He talks about the progress he has seen in his field, the sacrifices he made to pursue his professional interests, and about the joys of retirement. Dr. Tew’s journey from small-town North Carolina to successful cardiologist is a great story detailing both the consequences of hard work as well as the professional history of a pupil of a still-great medical institution. |
