John Martin Leonard earned his M.D. from Vanderbilt, where he was the Founder’s Medalist of his class. He returned to Vanderbilt in 1971 to complete his residency in internal medicine, then served as the Hugh J. Morgan Chief Resident in Medicine before pursuing subspecialty training in infectious diseases. Beginning in 1974, Leonard was an attending physician in the Department of Medicine and a consulting physician in the Division of Infectious Diseases. From 1983 to 2003, he was director of residency training for the Department of Medicine. In this capacity, he for many years directed the Junior Medicine Clerkship and later was instrumental in establishing the combined Medicine/Pediatric Training Program at Vanderbilt. In recent years, he served as director of the Physical Diagnosis course and was active in counseling residents and students. Leonard received numerous teaching awards at Vanderbilt: the Thomas E.
