—Gayle Woodson, MD, surgeon, educator, and award winning author of After Kilimanjaro and Leaving La Jolla
From Dr. Campbell :
Dr. Woodson was one of my otolaryngology role models long before she also became one of my creative writing role models. We met in the 1980s when she was a junior faculty member at the Baylor College of Medicine and I was a head and neck surgical fellow across the street at MD Anderson Cancer Center. She has had a wonderful and distinguished career as a teacher, surgeon, department chair, and national leader. Her influence and prominence within our specialty was recently recognized when she was named to the inaugural class of the American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery Foundation's Hall of Distinction. She is also a role model in global surgery, having worked with the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center to establish only the second otolaryngology residency in Tanzania.
I learned of her writing a few years ago and have been impressed with the breadth of her work and her sparkling imagination. I was honored to have her read my book.
