Emil J. Bardana, MD, FACP
Emil "Bud" Bardana, MD, FACP was born in New York City in 1935. He received his B.S. in Biology and Philosophy from Georgetown University and his M.D. degree from McGill University where he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society. Dr. Bardana completed a medicine internship at the University of California Moffitt Hospital in San Francisco, followed by three years in the US Navy, including one year with the Marines in Chu Lai, Viet Nam. He returned to Portland, where he served as both a resident and Chief Medical Resident in Internal Medicine at OHSU. Following his Chief Residency, he completed an Immunology fellowship at OHSU and a 2-year research fellowship at the University of Colorado and National Jewish Hospital in Denver.
Dr. Bardana returned to Oregon and joined the OHSU faculty as an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Allergy and Immunology. He rose steadily and quickly to full Professor and served as the Vice Chair of the Department of Medicine from 1984 to 1994, and as the Chief of the Division of Allergy and Immunology from 1985 to 2000.
Dr. Bardana served as Governor of the Oregon Chapter of the ACP from 1981 to 1985, and received the Chapter's Distinguished Service Award in 1985. Notable to the 2005 chapter meeting, Bud was an early and enthusiastic supporter of the development of the Annual Associate's Competition. In addition to his work with the Oregon ACP Chapter, Dr. Bardana has served on numerous national task forces and advisory committees, including the National Institutes of Health, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Center for Disease Control, to name a few.
He has held numerous regional, national and international leadership positions in prominent organizations including the ACP, the American College of Chest Physicians, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, the American Board of Allergy and Immunology, as well as president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology in 2000-2001. Dr. Bardana has authored nearly 200 original scientific articles, reviews, case reports and book chapters, publishing in a wide range of prestigious journals including Science, the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, Surgery, Neurology, the American Review of Respiratory Diseases and Academic Medicine. He has served on the editorial boards of all the major journals in allergy and immunology and serves as editor-in-chief for AllergyWatch.
Despite Bud's accomplishments as a scholar and leader in medicine, he remains to this day an active clinician and consultant, one repeatedly identified among the "Best Doctors in America". He has been generous in supporting and mentoring his junior colleagues, who themselves have now assumed important local and national leadership positions. Bud has served as an abiding example of excellence in research, patient care and service, and he has inspired those around him to excel as well. His contributions to internal medicine in Oregon will be enduring.
