The Positive Impact Of John M Boyce MD On The Epidemiology Of Infectious Diseases

By Eric Murphy


Infectious and contagious diseases pose an enormous challenge to doctors. These medical conditions have claimed the lives of millions of people. It is quite disconcerting that some individuals contract conditions like cholera, typhoid, dysentery and a myriad of other communicable diseases in a hospital environment. These illness have afflicted humanity for thousands of years. Scientists were finally able to draw a correlation between poor hygiene and the occurrence of these conditions. These researchers were known as epidemiologists. This article is about one of the most influential epidemiologists and researchers of all time known as John M Boyce MD.

Dr. Boyce is an alumni of Washington University. He graduated with a degree in medicine in the year nineteen seventy. From there, the budding doctor went on to pursue his Master degree at the Herman Hospital in Houston. His fellowship dissertation involved him training in epidemiology and on the infectious diseases. This was just the beginning of an illustrious career that would see him emerge as one of the leading authority figures in that particular discipline.

Yale University will forever go infamy in the life and times of Dr. Boyce. It was during his years at this learning institution that he was able to come out with his most compelling and influential works. His publications are now widely accepted by his peers. This work was a direct culmination of the experiments he conducted during his tenure as a research fellow and lecturer at Yale University.

Prior to venturing into the research at Yale, the doctor was an acclaimed academic counselor. He was the chairperson and the president of SHEA. He was appointed to this important position immediately after graduating from the Washington School of Medicine in nineteen seventy-nine. Dr. Boyce has also worked as the lead epidemiologist at a leading hospital in Providence.

For four decades, Dr. Boyce has researched extensively and experimented broadly on all matters appertaining to healthcare epidemiology. He has devoted and dedicated his life to the pursuit of understanding how this contagious medical conditions spread within populations. His efforts have in turn yielded meaningful results and outcomes. His work has now been fully accepted in the academic circles and by all his peers.

Primarily, his research has focused on the following conditions. The plague, cholera, tularemia and dysentery. His dissertation samples and thesis are available on the web. It is, however, not easy for a regular individual to read all of the scientific journals about hygiene and healthcare by the named doctor. Seek professional help and assistance when interpreting the underlying message and narratives in his publications.

Today, the world owes a lot of gratitude to the earnest efforts of the research finding by Dr. Boyce. Courtesy of his discoveries and correlations, individuals as well as physicians are now able to safeguard themselves against the deadly contagious conditions that result from poor hygiene. The number of casualties emanating from such illnesses continues to drop by the day.

His achievements have not gone unnoticed. The eminent scientist has received numerous prizes and accolades for his groundbreaking research and work. He was voted the best teacher and the best research attending physician of the year. Despite being retired, he hopes to continue making a profound positive impact on this interesting niche.
