✦ Synopsis

Francisco (UCSF). At OHSU, David Bristow, Chair of Medicine at the time, and John Benson, Jr., who was Chief of Gastroenterology and who subsequently became president of the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) were major influences on Emmet's academic career. Emmet then fulfilled his military obligation and spent 3 years at Oakland Naval Regional Medical Center. The Naval Hospital was clearly fortunate in recruiting 2 talented gastroenterologists that year, Emmet Keeffe and Neil Kaplowitz. On the advice of David Bristow and John Benson, Emmet pursued an advanced research fellowship for 2 years with Bruce Scharschmidt and Robert Ockner at UCSF.
