The Edmund G. Beacham Lectureship Fund
The Edmund G. Beacham, M.D. Lectureship Fund was established to honor the pioneering contributions of Edmund G. Beacham, M.D., to geriatric medicine at Johns Hopkins. Dr. Beacham, who died in May 2008 at the age of 93, was former head of the Division of Chronic and Community Medicine, the forerunner of the current Division of Geriatric Medicine.
Contributions help to fund the annual Beacham Lectureship and Topics in Geriatric Medicine continuing medical education course, allowing future generations of health professionals to learn about advances in the health care of seniors. The endowed lectureship was initiated in 2009. It was Dr. Beacham’s vision and energy that led to the development of the Topics in Geriatric Medicine course in 1972. Today, it remains the oldest continuing program of its nature in the U.S.
