After completing a general rotating internship at St. Mary's Hospital in San Francisco and achieving medical licensure in California, Dr. Southgate found a way to combine both loves - medicine and journalism - when she accepted a senior editor position at The Journal of the American Medical Association in 1962. She became deputy editor of JAMA in 1974 and on December 16 of that year wrote her first essay.
When she was first asked to assume full responsibility for selecting the art covers, Dr. Southgate was more than a little anxious because she had had no formal training in art and even less of an acquaintance with art museums. She approached the task in the same manner used to learn medicine: slowly, progressively, and thoroughly. "Students attend lectures, read journals, and study textbooks. Then they see the patient. I decided to apply the same process to understand art. I attended lectures, read art journals, and studied art books. I also began to haunt the museums, like students walk the wards, seeing the same paintings over and over in different lights and even sometimes in difference locations. For me, seeing the painting in a museum was like seeing the patient."
Semiretired since 1988, Dr. Southgate continues selecting the covers and writing the essays weekly. In addition to her responsibilities for JAMA, she has led a discussion group on art and medicine for medical students in the ethics program at Northwestern University medical School. She also lectures for medical societies and hospitals, museums, and community groups and has been featured in television programs, including a monthly segment about the covers of JAMA Medical Rounds (CNBC). She and the JAMA art covers have also been featured in newspapers nationwide.
