To Be A 'family Doctor'
NORMAN. Okla.,-Th na
lioo'l JtXI.OOOlh physKian was grid
uattd from medical school in June
at the University of Oklahoma
School of Medicine.
Jerry Dean Leu, 19, of Alt a.
Ok la ., plant to become a smalltown
"family doctor." First, however, he
will to on for four more years of
internship and residency training in
internal medicine.
Dr. Leu's graduation marks a
medical milestone the first time
300,000 physicians ha been avail
able to serve Americans. The num
ber of M D.'s in the U.S. now is
increasing faster than the general
population. The ratio is better than
one physician foe every 6S0 people,
compared to one for every 737 in
I960. By 1975. the AM A estimates,
the ratio will be down to one physi
cian for every 638 persons.
Even more physicians arc needed
to meet an insatiable demand for
medical services, the American
Medical Association says. The in
crease in demand for medical serv
ices has come about through
growing health consciousness on
the part of the public, scientific ad
vances in medicine, new govern
ment health programs and the
growth in population, the AMA
pointed out.
Becoming a doctor wasn't easy
for Jerry Leu.
"When I was in high school, I
wanted to go to medical school,
but I had doubts about my ability
and whether I could obtain the
Ifet. I -A 1 ji

necessary funds," he said.
Dr. Leu said his wife's work and
loans through the AMA's Educa
tion and Research Foundation and
the Oklahoma State Medical Asso
ciation made it possible to obtain
his degree.
He was accepted for medical
school in 196! after graduation
from Northwestern State College,
Alva, and Air Force service as a
medical research technician.
"I want to establish a family-type
practice in a smaller town of 15,000
to 50,000 population." Dr. Leu
said. "Why a family practice? It's
hard to explain. I want to know my
patients know them as individual
and as families."
He plans to lake his internship at
the University Hospital. University
of Oklahoma Medical Center.
