Acting chair since July 1, 1998, Berg came to the UW in 1977 to complete a Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars fellowship and residency in general preventive medicine at the School of Public Health and Community Medicine. He received a master’s degree in epidemiology and joined the faculty as an assistant professor of family medicine in 1979. He became an associate professor in 1984 and a full professor in 1991.
From 1983 to 1992, Berg directed the research section of the Department of Family Medicine. Since 1992, he has directed the Affiliated Family Practice Residency Network, which trains family practice residents at 16 sites throughout the WWAMI region.
He served on the second U.S. Preventive Services Task Force from 1990 to 1995 and chairs the third task force, which was appointed last year. He was elected to the Institute of Medicine in 1996. ¶
