Richard H. Simon, MD, professor emeritus, University of Michigan Medical School, graduated from Duke University Medical School in 1972 and then completed a two-year residency in the Department of Medicine at the University of California San Francisco. He was next a research associate in the Laboratory of Molecular Biology at the National Institute of Arthritis, Metabolic, and Digestive Diseases in Bethesda, MD and then moved to the University of Colorado to serve as chief medical resident followed by a fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. In 1981, Dr. Simon joined the faculty of the Division of Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine at the University of Michigan where he served for 40 years before becoming an emeritus professor in 2021.
While a pulmonary fellow in Colorado, Dr. Simon was asked to assist in the care for what was then only a small number of adults with cystic fibrosis. This early involvement led to one of his major career focuses and allowed him to contribute to the amazing progress in survival and wellbeing of people with CF. He serves on multiple committees for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation including the Medical Advisory Council, the Data Safety Monitoring Board, the Clinical Research Executive Committee, and the Clinical Research Advisory Board. He was the recipient of the Richard C. Talamo Distinguished Clinical Achievement Award from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in 2021.
