Philip S. Barba, M.D. All who rotated through the Department of Pediatrics at AEMC came to know and admire the rapport Dr. Barba had with the pediatric patient, the calm, assured manner he presented to the oft’ anxious parent, and the genuine interest he had in medical education. In the clinic he constantly endeavored to teach practical pediatrics, as well as successful ways to examine and manage our small patients. His energy and enthusiasm surpassed that of most younger men. Dr. Barba’s knowledge of academic pediatrics, his great store of techniques for examining and reassuring the pediatric patient, his dedication to medical education, his calm and easy-going manner, his ever present smile make him a practitioner of the Art of Medicine that we all hope to emulate. It is for these qualities that we dedicate the 1976 Skull to Dr. Barba with the hope that he will continue to impart the Art, and that we who have been privileged to learn from him will carry his spirit to our patients, whatever our specialty.
