In Memoriam

 

Robert Ivers, M.D. (B.S. Med. ’53), former clinical professor of internal medicine, died July 19, 2006 in Fargo.  He was 76.

           

A native of Christine, ND, he earned the Bachelor of Science in Medicine degree at the UND School of Medicine and went on to complete the Doctor of Medicine degree at Northwestern University School of Medicine.  He took internship training at then-St. Luke’s Hospital in Fargo and practiced general medicine in Pelican Rapids, MN, before deciding to pursue training in neurology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. 

           

After residency he returned to Fargo where he joined The Neuropsychiatric Institute in 1961 as the first neurologist in North Dakota.  A board-certified neurologist, he was a member of the medical staffs of Fargo and Moorhead hospitals and consultant to the North Dakota State Hospital in Jamestown. 

           

During his career, he served in several leadership roles including president of the First District Medical Society and chair of the North Dakota Developmental Disabilities Council, the Impaired Physicians Committee of North Dakota and the board of the former Lutheran Health Systems.
