BRUCE
LOGUE, 95, an Emory medical school graduate
of the class of 1937 and an Emory School of Medicine
faculty member for more than 40 years, died in
February. Known as a legendary diagnostician of
heart disease and a master clinician, he established
Emory’s first residency training program
in cardiology at Grady Memorial Hospital in 1946.
In the following years, he trained hundreds of
residents, fellows, and students in cardiology,
a specialty which he helped develop. He helped
found The Emory Clinic and served as the head
of its medicine section for many years as well
as chief of medicine at Emory Hospital. After
“retiring” from the clinic in 1980,
he went on to become director of Emory Crawford
Long’s Carlyle Fraser Heart Center, capping
a distinguished career. Among his many honors
are the Master Teachers Award of the American
College of Cardiology and the Emory University
Medical Alumni Award of Honor. The Emory University
Board of Trustees established a chair in his name
in 1986.
