E. Grey Dimond

E. Grey Dimond, MD, cardiologist and a founder of the University of MissouriKansas City (UMKC) School of Medicine, died on November 3 at the age of 94. Dr. Dimond, UMKC Provost Emeritus of Health Sciences, was a national medical education consultant and former chair of the University of Kansas Department of Medicine.He led development of the UMKC School of medicine, structuring the curriculum as an intensive six-year program rather than the traditional path of premedical training followed by four years of medical training. In 1971, the same year themedical school was founded, Dr. Dimond was among the first Americans to visit Communist China. He became friends with international journalist, Edgar Snow, a Kansas City native who chronicled the Chinese Revolution and was the first Western journalist to interview Mao Zedong. Dr. Dimond led over two dozen educational trips to China and published numerous manuscripts and books pertaining to his experiences. Among his books are ‘‘Essays From An Unfinished Physician: Lessons From People, Patients and Life’’ (2000) and ‘‘Inside China Today: AWestern View’’ (1984). In 2011, Dr. Dimond was recognized for his extraordinary contributions to UMKC with the Chancellor’s Medal, the University’s highest non-academic honor. His legacy at UMKC endures through the E. Grey Dimond, MD, Program in International Medicine and the E. Grey Dimond, MD, Take Wing Award. The Take Wing Award recognizes a graduate who has excelled in medicine, academic medicine, research or community service. A bronze Take Wing sculpture, cast from a carving Dr. Dimond created in 1952 from a piece of driftwood, stands in front of the School of Medicine.
