Dr. Osburne's fellowship in Endocrinology and Metabolism was at the National Naval Center, now known as Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. He performed recertification by the ABMS in Internal Medicine and in Endocrinology in June 2010. He was a member of SWC earlier in his career, and left us only when the pursuit of additional interests in healthcare management took him out of our state. We are glad to have him back in Birmingham once again.
