John Elman's daughter Shana grew up in Malibu, attending Webster School, Malibu Park Middle School, and SaMoHi, before getting a Bachelor's degree at UCLA, and MA in psychology at Pepperdine, and MD at Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, a Doris Duke Fellowship in medical research at University of Texas in Dallas, and spending 2 years as resident in general surgery at Virginia Mason Hospital in Seattle Washington, and becoming certified in Nuclear Medicine at University of Washington, where she served as Chief Resident in Nuclear Medicine.  She recently completed  the 4 year Residency in Radiology at UW.She has lectured across the country in Nuclear Medicine and has been an author of 18 Pub Med cited journal articles.  In October she will be joining the faculty at the University of New Mexico Medical Center in Albequeque as a specialist in Nuclear Medicine..  

When Shana told her dad she was leaving general surgery to go into Nuclear Medicine he had to ask, "What is Nuclear Medicine?" At  the October 3 2018 meeting of the Malibu Rotary Club we will all find out.
