The Positive Impact Of John M Boyce MD On The Epidemiology Of Infectious Diseases

By Eric Murphy


The world continues to battle with infectious diseases. Their prevalence rates remain in the double-digit figures. They continue to claim the lives of many individuals the world over. Dealing with adverse medical conditions like the plague, cholera, typhoid, and dysentery is a major issue facing the leading researchers. Most importantly, however, they are interested in discovering the most effective remedies and solutions to these medical problems. The following article goes into detail about the successes and achievements done by one of the most acclaimed epidemiologists of all-time. His name is Dr. John M Boyce MD, and this is a brief overview of what he has achieved.

The world has the Washington University Medical University to thank for giving us Dr. Boyce. The would-be medicine hall-of-fame legend was first introduced to medicine at this college. Four years later, he graduated being one of the top students in his class. Afterward, he continued his studies focusing more on the methodology behind the spread of common contagious and infectious diseases at a university in Houston, Texas.

Yale University was where his career blossomed and bloomed. The years he worked at this university are arguably the most productive and outstanding moments of his professional career and quest in life. It was during his tenure at this particular school that he was able to come up with his most ingenious research findings.

Dr. Boyce has always been an altruist at heart. Even before he became famous working at Yale, he was an altruist serving in various charitable and philanthropic organizations. One of them being the SHEA organization where he has served as the coordinator and the president for many years. His other prominent positions include being the head epidemiologist at one of the top-rated hospitals in Providence.

John has spent the past forty years of his adult life researching contagious diseases. He has dedicated his entire life to the pursuit of discovering the scientific reason and logic behind the spread of common infectious medical conditions. Most importantly, his research findings have been motivated and inspired by the need to find practical solutions of how to deal with the adverse ramifications of the conditions like typhoid, cholera, dysentery and a plethora of bacterial infections as well.

Dr. John has researched on tularemia, bubonic plague, and cholera and dysentery as well. His research findings place a huge emphasis on how it is possible to avoid all the negative side-effects associated with infectious and contagious medical conditions just by being hygienic. Simple measures like disinfection and proper hygiene are all that is needed to curtail the emergence of such diseases mostly.

The forty painstaking years spent researching and studying the epidemiology of conditions like cholera have paid off brilliantly. His research publications have ended up saving millions of lives which could have otherwise been prematurely cut-off by mundane things such as a disinfected medical apparatus.

Consequently, Dr. Boyce has gone ahead to gain a rock-star status amongst doctors. He is a well-recognized figure who commands a lot of respect and authority in the epidemiology realm. The prizes and honors to his name and credit continue to surge and grow daily. Every hospital he has worked in has ended up giving him an award.
