One of the children died; the other two suffered permanent brain damage. "It didn't make any sense to me to spend $75,000 to $80,000 to save a premature baby," says Dr. Bull, "then not to have the resources to obtain a $25 to $50 device to protect the child while he is traveling in a car."

As a child, Jane Henney's roots were firmly planted in Woodburn, Indiana where she grew up. When the time came for her to extend her education, she followed in her fathers and uncle's footsteps and attended a liberal arts college near her home. "My time at Manchester College was rewarding," says Jane E. Henney MD, (73) who joined the University of New Mexico (UNM) in 1994 as vice president for health sciences. "I was looking for a school with a strong program in the sciences and Manchester had a great track record." As she progressed through her studies as a biology major, she tutored male students whose sights were set on medical school. In the process, Jane Henney realized that her childhood dream of becoming a physician was just as real a possibility for her. Her determination was reinforced by a family friend who saw opportunity in clinical trials during her battle with breast cancer. "She was a very adventuresome and independent woman," Dr. Henney recalls. "She believed in me and that I could make a difference in medicine."

Dr. Henney entered the IU School of Medicine at a time when students were challenging the establishment. Her experience with the Student American Medical Association was the beginning of her engagement with national policy making. After her internship and residency in internal medicine, and a fellowship in medical oncology, she joined the National Cancer Institute, the largest of the National Institutes of Healths (NIH) institutes, and quickly advanced to deputy director. Today, she continues her relationship with NIH as a member of the Advisory Committee to its director, Harold Varmus, MD.

As a vice president at UNM, Dr. Henney focuses on guiding its colleges, schools, and hospitals toward tomorrow. "Over the centuries, New Mexico's enchanting landscapes have attracted many peoples. Because of this, the state has no majority population, which makes developing health care to meet the needs of the people in this state very exciting." The service and education missions of the Health Sciences Center strongly affect rural communities statewide, where the center extends its emphasis on interdisciplinary education. Community outreach is one of several areas where the partnership of the School of Medicine, Colleges of Nursing and Pharmacy, and the Allied Health Programs, together with the UNM hospitals, positions the institution at the forefront of change in health education.

When Dr. Henney graduated from IUSM, there were only 11 other women in her class. Today, the IUSM student body is nearly 40 percent women; at UNM, it is 60 percent women, and the UNM medical school ranks first in the nation for the number of women in senior leadership positions. "Whether in the clinic, administration or classroom, women are capable leaders," she says. As for her personal life, Dr. Henney still visits her family in Indiana, though not as frequently as she'd like. "My younger brother practices family medicine (Frederic Alan Henney '80) in Monticello, and my nephew (Jeremy Henney) entered IU this fall as a freshman," says Dr. Henney, who recognizes that growing up in a small town in Indiana keeps her perspective true, as she works to meet the health care needs of those who live in New Mexico.

IU5M opened the door to medicine for alumna Tina Kwan, MD '69. She walked through to fulfill a family legacy. Like many alumni Tina Kwan, MD '69, has fond memories of IUSM. She recalls certain professors and lifelong friendships formed while a student on the Indianapolis campus. She
has amusing anecdotes about lab partners, patients and her medical school experience. But Dr. Kwan's gratitude toward her alma mater goes much farther than the usual reminiscences.

"In the 1960s things were not as open at medical schools," says Dr. Kwan, a pediatrician who practices in San Francisco. "I think women and foreign students were not welcomed to state schools."

That left Dr. Kwan with two strikes against her - as a female and a native of China. Born in 1945, Dr. Kwan's life has been an odyssey propelled by the forces of war, nationality and world events, yet stabilized by the strength of her family and the values it taught her.

Her mother was a physicist, an unusual career for a Chinese woman of that time; her father held a college degree in business; and her maternal aunt and uncle both were physicians. Shortly after her parents graduated from college in 1937, Japan invaded China and the family moved from Shanghai to Chunking, China, where Dr. Kwan was born.

They remained there until after the Japanese surrender in August, 1945, when the family returned to Shanghai, the largest city in China. However, civil war broke out soon after as the communist takeover began. Unlike many of their countrymen, the Kwok family (Dr. Kwans maiden name) was able to leave the country for a safer harbor in Vietnam.

There the family lived in Haiphong, a northern coastal resort town, where her father did well and the family enjoyed many luxuries. After four years, during which time her sister Wendy was born, war forced the family to move once more. For the next year, her father lived in Hong Kong, trying to establish himself in business, and her mother took the girls home to live with her family in Chunking. In 1952, the family was reunited in Hong Kong, where Dr. Kwan lived until 1962 when she came to the U.S. for schooling.

This latter sojourn in Hong Kong provided lessons in life that continue to serve her, she says: the value of family, sharing, the importance of education, and how to get by happily with few material things. Unlike their years in Vietnam, the family lived for eight years, from 1952-60, in a single room. By the time they moved into a flat, there were four children in the family, a grandmother and her caretaker, all living together. The living room and dining room were converted to bedrooms for the eight people, the hallway doubled as a dining room and study area. A shower was installed in the corner of the kitchen.

But through it all, Dr. Kwan said her mother made health and education for her family a priority. The children attended a private school where they became conversant with scientific terms in both Chinese and English. When Dr. Kwan finally left Hong Kong in 1962, it was to attend Yuba College, a junior college near Sacramento which charged her no tuition. "I think that school was either rich or very nice," she reflects. Then it was on to University of California-Berkeley where she fulfilled all her pre-med requirements.

When it came time to apply to medical school, Dr. Kwan saw the hurdles she faced as a minority female. Taking a scientific approach to the problem, she did a statistical analysis of admissions to United States and Canadian medical schools, comparing the number of female and foreign students accepted at each school over several years. Though the all-female, private Medical College of Philadelphia appeared to be her best opportunity its tuition was very high.

"My second best chance was IU," she recalls. "In 1965, 180 students were admitted to IUSM and ten percent were female. Three were foreign students, which was unusual compared to other state schools.

"I went to Bloomington for the interview; it was my first trip to the Midwest and I arrived when all the trees were changing color. I had never seen anything like it."

In her initial interview, a typical one for medical school candidates, she met with a panel of four faculty members. The encounter went so well that she was asked to attend a second interview. However, this one was conducted by four psychiatrists. Only women, out-of-state applicants and foreign students had to clear this second hurdle. Its purpose, Dr. Kwan believes in retrospect, was to determine if non-Hoosiers would become depressed or suffer other problems that would cause them to leave the program and waste Hoosier tax dollars.

An extra interview was not about to deter a woman who had already traveled so far. Dr. Kwan was accepted and went on to graduate with her 1969 class. She now holds a medical degree and a master's degree in public health.

She was drawn to San Francisco because of her husband's work as a structural engineer and because of the many Chinese there, who make up a quarter of the city's population.

"During my peds residency, the Chinese population in San Francisco increased steadily and I was very popular among the Chinese clinical patients at San Francisco's Children Hospital because I could speak both Mandarinand Cantonese," explains Dr. Kwan. "It was just a natural thing to do to set up a practice in Chinatown since alarge percentage of the residents aremonolingual and monocultural Chinese."

"In pediatrics, you deal with the parents as much if not more than you dowith the children," she adds. "Almostall the parents in Chinatown are foreign-born; they need my services more than another population."

From her office in the heart of Chinatown, Dr. Kwan now serves patients ninety-nine percent of whom are Chinese; only about forty percent of the parents are bilingual. She realizes that her life has come full-circle. Her heritage once was an obstacle to achieving her goal. Now it is an asset. The adversity she faced as a youth has made her a better physician, a better parent and a better person. She thanks her parents for that. And she thanks IUSM for giving her the opportunity she needed to provide care to the smallest members of the Chinese community who live inthe shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge.
