Actually, it was through two careers: 30 years of private pediatric practice and then a long stint in osteopathic education.
He has served as Chairman of Pediatrics in two hospitals, was president of 13 professional organizations (ten of them osteopathic), garnered 5 Fellow degrees and received 18 distinguished service awards. He became Founding Dean of Southeastern College of Osteopathic Medicine, which through growth and merger morphed into the Health Professions Division of Nova Southeastern University, from which he retired a few years ago as Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost.
Author of 10 published professional books and more than 220 professional articles, Dr. Melnick's keen observations are based on his years of widespread experience in osteopathic matters. Most of his illustrative anecdotes come from personal events.view less
