Reader Submission – History of the Medical Oak Leaf and Acorn Corps Device

Posted on September 17, 2015

I usually stick to career planning topics on this blog, but a reader submitted this interesting article. I had no idea where our corps device came from, and since I didn’t know I’m sure there are others out there who don’t know either. Enjoy reading if this topic intrigues you:

Yes, CAPT (ret) Ken Lankin wrote this article when he was a medical school at USUHS and it was publiched during his Internship year. He served just over 20 years as both Family Medicine and Preventive Medicine, had several operational tours and retired out of NHC Annapolis. Great Doc!
