Moving Us Closer To Osler
A Miller Coulson Academy of Clinical Excellence Initiative

Richard Schaefer, MD, MPH

Like Osler, I’m a colonel. Born and raised in Buffalo, New York, I was a U.S. Army orthopedic surgeon who lived and practiced in many places around the world. Now at Johns Hopkins, my interests include medical education and humanism. It’s a privilege to be on the CLOSLER team. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with family, travel, and sports. Go Bills!
