educated colleagues who are leaders in their field. Dr. Tom Abell,

expert, with NIH grant support, in motility disorders. In fact,
he is one of only a handful of physicians in the United States
who insert gastric electro stimulation devices. In addition, Chairman
of Medicine, Dr. Richard deShazo is widely known and respected
and has served as chairman at UMC for ten years. He has also served
as president of the Association of Professors of Medicine and
