John M. Tudor, Jr., M.D., of East Falmouth, Massachusetts, was born in 1938 in Pine Bluff,
Arkansas. He earned his M.D. from Harvard Medical School in 1964, and then he completed a
rotating internship at King County Hospital in Seattle, Washington. His residency training included
an internal medicine residency at the University of Washington Hospitals in Seattle (1965-66), and a
family practice residency at the University of Miami-Jackson Memorial Hospital under Lynn
Carmichael (1968-69). In between his residencies, he served as a captain in the Air Force at the

upon completion of his residency in Miami. He became assistant professor at the Department of
Family and Community Medicine at the University of Arkansas. He also served as associate

his position in Arkansas, he was a fellow at Michigan State University, earning an M.A. in Higher

and Community Medicine at the University of Utah. He also served as Chairman of the Division of
Family Medicine and Director of the family practice residency there. In 1980, he entered private
