Just Say for Me
Just Say for Me collects the thoughts and sayings of Dr. Eugene Stead, Jr., founder of the PA profession. These “Steadisms” focus on the art of practicing medicine, the relationship between doctor and patient, students and learning, and medical research. These quotes were collected by Fred Schoonmaker and Earl Nelson Metz. It is an excellent gift for a White Coat Ceremony, someone starting their PA career, or even for someone who has been a PA for many years.

Learning to Learn: The Teaching Legacy of Eugene A. Stead, Jr., MD
Learning to Learn: The Teaching Legacy of Eugene A. Stead, Jr., MD traces the teaching legacy of one of America’s most gifted medical educators. Dr. Eugene Stead, founder of the PA profession, was active at Duke University for more than 50 years and chaired the Department of Medicine there from 1947-1967. His philosophy of education touched future doctors, nurses, and physician assistants at Duke and across the nation through leaders he trained. The heart of Stead’s legacy is a handful of principles that are as essential today as they were 50 years ago. These principles are captured and amplified in the seven papers contained in this volume along with the recorded discussion by several of Stead’s colleagues and pupils that followed the reading of those papers at a symposium held in 2008 in honor of Stead’s 100th birthday.
