No one would have blamed Donald Seldin for running away when he arrived at Southwestern Medical College in 1951. The campus was a collection of hastily repurposed military shacks creaking in the wind. On practically day one, he became chair of the department of medicine – when the only other full-time professors departed.

By the time he stepped down thirty-six years later, Seldin had transformed a sleepy medical college into the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center – a powerhouse of research and patient care and an anchor of the city of Dallas. Raymond Greenberg, a physician-scholar, tells Seldin's story of perseverance and intellectual triumph. Drawing on interviews with Seldin's trainees and colleagues – and on Seldin's own words – Greenberg chronicles the life of the Brooklyn boy who became one of Texas's foremost citizens and taught decades of men and women to heal.

A pioneering nephrologist, Seldin devoted his career to developing the specialty, educating students, residents, and fellows, caring for patients, and nurturing basic research. Seldin was a wildcatter in the best sense. He declined the comfortable prestige of Harvard and Yale and instead embraced a worthy challenge with an unflagging sense of mission. Graceful and richly detailed, The Maestro of Medicine captures an inspiring life of achievement and service.
