A long and distinguished career has earned School of Medicine and Public Health professor emeritus Norman Jensen the respect of his peers and the appreciation of many students since he began teaching here in 1970.

But longevity alone does not account for his impact on the curriculum in an ever-evolving profession. He is an enthusiastic adopter and teacher of new technology-driven diagnostic concepts, such as evidence-based medicine.

For his teaching of history taking, physical examination and oral presentation skills in all four semesters of the Patient, Doctor and Society (PDS) course, students consistently rate him as outstanding in all aspects of evaluation.

Jensen also serves as a preceptor in the Generalist Partners Program, which pairs year-one students with community primary care clinicians to give them real-world experience.
