If you are a PCOM alum, no words are needed to identify this 1956 graduate of PCOM. Which is fitting, as decades of alumni relate that there are no words to adequately describe the impact this radiologist had on his students. He first began lecturing medical students in 1962, quickly rising to Chairman of Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Radiation Therapy, from 1973 to 1991. He used puppets as part of his teaching, and he would have students whistling, singing, playing the guitar, and performing skits as part of their education. A past president of POMA, he remained active in teaching until his death in 2005.
Answer: Robert Meals, DO
