Frank R. Ford (1892-1970) Dr. Frank Ford was born and spent nearly his entire life in Baltimore, where he established a strong Paediatric Neurology Service. He graduated from Johns Hopkins University in 1915 and its medical school in 1920. In 1918, he joined the Student Army Training Corps. Ford served an internship at the Henry Phipps Psychiatric Institute of The Johns Hopkins Hospital from 1920 to 1921 before completing a residency in neurology at the Bellevue Hospital in New York in 1922. He returned to Johns Hopkins as a resident in neurology in 1922. He spent a year in psychiatry at the Phipps Psychiatric Clinic under Adolf Meyer but found Meyer's laboratory more objective and satisfying. He left for New York and Bellevue Hospital for a year of neurology training under Foster Kennedy. Here, he would also have encountered Sachs, who was a member of the staff.
