Abstract

Memorializes John D. Robinson (1946-2021). John was the first African American psychologist to serve in both the United States Air Force (1973-1975) and Navy (1975-1983). He was also the first African American administrator at the University of Texas at Austin (1968-1969). His roles throughout his career included professor of Surgery and Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Howard University until his retirement (1992-2016). At Howard University Hospital, John pioneered the field of transplant psychology, working hand in hand with surgeons and patients to both prepare patients-behaviorally and emotionally-for upcoming surgeries and ensure that patients were able to follow through with aftercare activities to ensure a successful transplant.
