Dr. Evangeline T. Papageorge.
An aspiring doctor must be able to enjoy medical school. “If you don't like it, I think it would be torture!"
One of the professional memories that she treasures is of the give-and-take with Dr. Richardson that resulted because "we had the same philosophy of teaching. We both felt very strongly," she says, "that when students go to a school and pay their tuition, they have a right to certain expectations. It is the duty of the administration and faculty to do the best they can to give students what they need. And that is not only to provide lectures but to help them in other ways to learn what they need to learn. But there is a difference in being caring and being permissive - I know Dr. Richardson and I agreed on that. You don't give students high grades for trying hard; you grade them on the basis of achievement. When you turn our doctors, they have to have the ability and knowledge to do what will be expected of them." Emory Medicine Spring 1990
