In the latest episode of the Oswego Alumni Podcast, host Dee McGowan Perkins '85 chats with Dr. Thomas Mahl '80, Chief of Service, Gastroenterology at Erie County Medical Center in Buffalo, and Assistant Professor of Medicine, SUNY at Buffalo.
Dr. Mahl discusses his unexpected path from a disengaged high school student to a dedicated and successful physician and medical professor, and how a series of family medical issues helped to inspire his path.
Crediting Oswego and faculty emeriti Gus Silveira and Pearl Monroe for teaching him discipline; his professional mentors for instilling a sense of "calm competence" in his care for patients; his broadcaster father for his captivating speaking skills which helped earn him three Segal Awards for Teaching; and his humble beginnings for motivating him to pay it forward to current SUNY Oswego students in financial need -- Dr. Mahl's journey is an inspirational one! Tune in today to hear his story!
