Dr. Schafer is past President of the American Society of Hematology, past President of the Association of Professors of Medicine, and has been elected to membership in the American Society for Clinical Investigation (for which he served as Secretary-Treasurer), the Association of American Physicians, and Fellowship in the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Master of the American College of Physicians, the New York Academy of Medicine, and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academies. He has served on the editorial boards of a number of major medical and scientific journals, and was the founding editor-in-chief of The Hematologist.

Dr. Schafer received his B.A. from Northeastern University in 1969 and his M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1973. He completed his residency in internal medicine at the University of Chicago and his clinical and research fellowships in hematology at the Brigham and Women's Hospital (formerly Peter Bent Brigham Hospital) and Harvard Medical School. He was on the faculty of Harvard Medical School, rising to Associate Professor of Medicine, until 1989 when he was appointed Chief of Medicine at the Houston VA Medical Center, Professor of Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, and Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Rice University in Houston. Dr. Schafer then served as Chair of the Department of Medicine at Baylor from 1996 to 2002, when he was recruited to his medical school alma mater to become the Frank Wister Thomas Professor and Chair of the Department of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

Many years ago, Sir William Osler said, "Listen to the patient and he will give you the answer." Had the 15th edition of Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine been available at that time, he probably would have said, "Read the book and it will give you the answer."

The editors and the 408 contributors have produced an encyclopedic work that covers, in detail, every aspect of internal medicine. The book has undergone extensive revision and features over 90 new chapters. It can be easily read, and is surprisingly current, with numerous references from articles published in the year 2000 and even several from this year. One may certainly consider this the bible of internal medicine.

Harrison's is written clearly. It covers all the aspects of internal medicine including basic science, pathophysiology, the clinical signs, diagnosis, and the up-to-date treatment. The textbook is divided into 7 sections with an introduction to clinical medicine, sections on cardinal manifestations and presentation of diseases, genetics and disease, clinical pharmacology, nutrition, chapters on the various branches of medicine and their diseases such as hematology and oncology, and infectious diseases. It concludes with a section on environmental and occupational hazards. Each and every one of these is complete, easy to navigate, and remarkably up to date.
