1970s - Markman / Michel

Arnold G. Markman, M.D. ’75, and Elizabeth Michel, M.D. ’75, will celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary in June. The couple met in September 1971 when they sat next to each other during registration for their first-year classes at the School of Medicine. Markman is chief of occupational medicine at Kaiser Permanente in San Diego; Michel serves as a board member and secretary of the San Diego-based human rights group Survivors of Torture International. Markman writes that “we have continued as best friends, sources of support and intellectual stimulation for each other—a process that began when we were partners in gross anatomy and Introduction to Clinical Medicine with Morris Dillard. We have two wonderful sons, ages 22 and 25.”
