1997 Alumni Profile
A sense of adventure has proven to be "the right stuff"
for Maj. Bill Bray, MD, for the last five years. After graduating,
he completed a family practice residency at Ball Memorial Hospital,
Muncie, Ind. In 2000, Dr. Bray went on active duty at Tyndall Air
Force Base in Panama City, Fla. to fulfill the Reserve Officers
Training Corps obligation he made as an undergraduate.
Dr. Bray is now flight surgeon for the base's F-15 Eagle pilots
and serves as the primary care physician for the aircrews and their
families. He's also on standby to respond to planes experiencing
problems requiring emergency landings and, if necessary, to serve
as medical representative of crash investigation teams. Further,
Dr. Bray fulfills an administrative occupational medicine role evaluating
on-base workplace safety and practicing preventive medicine.
Although he enjoys all aspects of his job, the highlight of his
work is his weekly boarding of a special F-15 two-seat training
model where he accompanies a pilot through the gamut of maneuvers
regularly experienced in air-to-air combat.
While Dr. Bray enjoys these adventures, they aren't just fun and
games. Flying allows Dr. Bray to strengthen trust and help pilots
understand his authority to ground them when they have health problems.
"It is an honor to take care of our Air Force troops who
put themselves in harm's way for the sake of our freedom,"
says Dr. Bray. "Working with them and their families has provided
a unique experience in primary care, the foundation for which was
fostered at IU School of Medicine."
What's on the horizon for Dr. Bray? After fulfilling his ROTC obligation,
he plans to apply to be flight surgeon for the Thunderbirds, the
world-renowned Air Force demonstration team.
