Reflective Statement: September 2013 Bev Mitchell, a mentor during my junior faculty years at the University of Michigan and here at UNC, was a great role model. She did everything well-- research, teaching, patient care and administration. Versatility became one of my goals. But complex patient care has always been the best part of being an academic physician, and it remains the most important activity for me. Tom Boat, who recruited me for this faculty position 20 years ago, often said that an academic physician should do something different about every 10 years. I finally took his advice in 2007 and closed by research lab, which I ran for about 15 years. Not running a lab has allowed me to contribute more fully to our clinical and teaching missions and to enjoy it more. My previous research focus (1992-2007) involved the study of glycosyltransferase gene expression. Major collaborations included the areas of genomic mapping, linkage analysis, metabolism, infectious disease, organic chemistry, and public health. But when it became clear that clinical applicability for this area of research was limited, it was time to for me to move on. My current interests (2007-date) focus on neutrophil and coagulation disorders. My participation in academics, clinical effort, and other service activities reflect these changes in interests. Many if not most of our patients are entered into clinical trials or registries. Most recently, I have become part of the new HHT Center of Excellence here at UNC. I essentially took on an extra faculty position in 2007, since we had a junior faculty member leave who was seeing hemophilia and thrombosis patients. I have been the primary hematologist for most of those patients since 2007. On April 8, 2005, I wrote a letter to Alan Stiles asking to not be considered for promotion to full professor. In retrospect, that was a good decision, as I have enjoyed developing these new areas of interest. I have also gotten to spend more uninterrupted time with my patients, diversify the types of diseases I treat, and develop new skills in the area of coagulation. This has led me to change my teaching content, methods, and goals. I still have no interest in becoming a full professor. Finally, my family and interests outside of science and medicine have always been important, and I am fortunate to be able to now enjoy this part of life more.
