Dr. Anne McKusick (1922–2017) was part of a significant number of scientists involved in World War II era research on the atomic bomb, who abandoned physics to join the biomedical sciences. Bringing different approaches and a new perspective, many in this group have made significant contributions to medicine. McKusick made her mark in rheumatology and as a teacher, and found teaching clinical skills and medical ethics one of the most rewarding experiences of her career.
