Sherman J Silber

Biography

Dr. Silber went to medical school at the University of Michigan, did post-graduate training at Stanford University, and then again at the University of Michigan. From 1967 to 1969, he provided medical care via the U. S. Public Health Service to Eskimos, Indians, and Aleuts. Then he taught at the University of Melbourne Medical School in Australia, and later at the University of California Medical School in San Francisco. He is a scientific collaborator at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a full professor at the University of Amsterdam, and at the Kato Clinic in Tokyo. His major clinical medical practice is at St. Luke’s Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. He always gives credit for his surgical dexterity to the training he received during medical school from an uneducated but brilliant Black janitor, Jimmy Crudup, who washed instruments in the animal lab at the University of Michigan.
