THE American Academy of Pediatrics this year lost the full time services of Dr. John P. Hubbard who has accepted the chair of Preventive Medicine and Public Health at the University of Pennsylvania. To many members of the Academy it will seem strange not to have the mailman occasionally present them with a letter from John, urging them, more or less gently, to direct or indirect action furthering the interests of the Academy and the cause of child health. In the past four years he has carried through the enormous task of directing the Academy Survey of Child Health Services and subsequently sweated through the formative stages of the ICH Committee and the efforts to follow up the Study with constructive action.

WE TAKE pleasure in calling attention to the Kentucky Child Health Foundation in the following contribution submitted by Dr. Alex J. Steigman. Although there have undoubtedly been many influences which stimulated establishment of this foundation, it appears fair to state that the Academy's Study of Child Health Services, and the continuing activities which it aroused, were at least in part responsible for this significant development. Moreover, we wish to call attention to the fact that Dr. Steigman's appointment as Professor of Child Health in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Louisville School of Medicine represents a noteworthy trend toward the teaching of child health rather than emphasis upon the diseases of children. Whereas departments of Child Hygiene have long been established in graduate schools of Public Health, this appointment, we believe, is the first in any medical school of this country under the heading of Professor of Child Health.

Herein, I intend to capture highlights shared with my academic and research colleagues over the 60 years I devoted initially to my graduate and postdoctoral training and then to academic endeavors starting as an assistant professor in a new medical school at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). During this period, the Department of Pharmacology emerged from a division within the Department of Medicine to become the first basic science department, solely within the School of Medicine at UCSD in 1979. As part of the school's plans to reorganize and to retain me at UCSD, I was appointed as founding chair. Some years later in 2002, faculty, led largely within the Department of Pharmacology and by practicing pharmacists within UCSD Healthcare, started the independent Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences with a doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) program, where I served as the founding dean. My career pathway, from working at my family-owned pharmacy to chairing a department in a school of medicine and then becoming the dean of a school of pharmacy at a research-intensive, student-centered institution, involved some risky decisions. But the academic, curricular, and accreditation challenges posed were met by a cadre of creative faculty colleagues. I offer my experiences to individuals confronted with a multiplicity of real or imagined opportunities in academic health sciences, the related pharmaceutical industry, and government oversight agencies.
