Dr. Robert C. Eelkema will be at the UND Bookstore signing copies of his new book 'Medicine in the Back of Beyond'. The book describes the early and serendipitious opportunities that led to the birth of the MEDEX Program at the University of North Dakota, and how the UND Nurse Practitioner/Physician Assistant Program grew from it.
Part autobiography, part history lesson, Dr. Robert C. Eelkema tells the stories of those who went on to make an essential difference in health care services throughout the nation. Dr. Eelkema looks at his roots and shares the wisdom that comes only from introspection later in life.
Dr Eelkema also co-wrote 'Good Medicine' with Tom Clifford and Patrick A. McGuire
