Frank Brooks Lecture

Dr Brooks was a renowned GI physiologist and was viewed as one of the founding fathers of the field. To that end, Dr. Brooks started the journal Digestive Diseases and Sciences, serving as its first Editor-in-Chief. Recognized nationally and internationally, Dr. Brooks was President of the American Gastroenterology Association in 1980, and won several awards, including its highest one, the Julius Friedenwald Medal. He trained and mentored a generation of students, residents and GI fellows. As described by Dr. Paul Webster, 1978 APA President, Dr. Frank Brooks was a gentleman of the first order, and an individual who supported young investigators and young academicians, a motivator, an organizer, an inspiration and a clinical leader.
