Neal Whitman, Ed.D., is an “education doctor” who has been working with medical doctors since 1971. Currently, Dr. Whitman is a Professor in the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine at the University of Utah School of Medicine. He has been invited to over 100 medical schools and teaching hospitals and is the author of over 100 publications. He is known as a “teacher’s teacher” and has been awarded the Gender Equity Award by the Utah chapter of the American Medical Women’s Association.
Dr. Whitman has a particular interest in how the literary, visual, and performing arts can contribute to our understanding of how to teach patients, students, residents, and medical colleagues. His one-man performance as Sir William Osler, circa 1919, embodies the integration of Art and Medicine that offers a model for today's medical community.
In 1987, Neal created the nation’s first multi-specialty, multi-state chief resident training program. The Chief Resident as Manager (CRAM) course has trained over 7,500 participants. By now, former course partipants (who have become today's program directors) send their own chiefs to this course, creating a generation-to-generation legacy.
