The Glen W. Hamilton, M.D. and Madeline A. Hamilton Endowed Scholarship in Medicine created by Madeline Hamilton was to honor her late husband, Glen Hamilton, M.D. Glen graduated from the UW School of Medicine in 1965 and served as chief resident in 1969 and 1970. He was the first chief of nuclear medicine at the Seattle Veterans Administration Hospital.
Over the next dozen years, he pioneered the development of nuclear medicine in cardiology, publishing one book and more than 50 scientific articles. To this day such tests (heart scans) are regularly performed to help in the diagnosis of coronary artery blockages. In 1980 he was elevated to full professor and received the Paul Dudley White Award for “outstanding accomplishments in the field of cardiovascular disease.”
