A Tribute to Dr. Ed Wilkinson
Prepare by Dr. Anthony Yachnis
Edward J. Wilkinson, MD, Department of Pathology, Immunology, and Laboratory Medicine
It is with great sadness to hear of the passing of Dr. Edward J. Wilkinson, who provided outstanding clinical service, education, research, and leadership in the University of Florida Department Pathology, Immunology, and Laboratory Medicine. Dr. Wilkinson was a shining example of a role model for several generations of trainees and peers in pathology and a lifelong advocate for women’s health. In addition to his incredible experience and knowledge in his specialty of Gynecological Pathology, Ed was an engaging, kind, and patient educator in his interactions with residents, fellows and faculty. He was always available to consult with trainees and faculty who brought him challenging cases to review. Dr. Wilkinson was particularly proud of the Cytopathology Fellowship, of which he was program director for 33 years, and which produced over 60 fellows. Many of these have carried on Ed’s tradition of excellence as faculty at UF and at other institutions… Edward J. Wilkinson M.D. Obituary – Gainesville Sun
