Fauci is clearly a study in what is WRONG with administrative medicine. I find non clinical administrators and clinical administrators who no longer practice to be the biggest problem in medicine

I believe I read somewhere Fauci didn’t even maintain a license to practice medicine. Anyone who wishes to lead in medicine should be at bedside at least 50% of the time to actually understand what is happening in the rapid changes that come to medicine.

When I looked up Fauci a few months ago, the Wikipedia entry indicated that he graduated from Cornell Medical School in 1966, then did internship and residency at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center. In 1968 he went to a government payroll as a researcher and has pretty much been doing research since then. It seems he also published several papers in medical research.

I can't tell from any records if he actually treated patients since 1968. There was some reference to him observing treatment of EBOLA patients in 2012 or so.

So, in summary, he has been a professional lab rat since 1968, and published papers in medical journals. Is that the same as being a doctor, as most people associate the term? Probably not.
