Dr. Egan is a senior nephrologist, master clinician, and recognized expert in the diagnosis and treatment of metabolic bone diseases. He served the Omaha Veterans Administration Medical Center as Nephrology Section Chief for more than 30 years. Shortly after his attempted retirement in 2000, Dr. Egan joined the ORC, where he conducts twice-weekly bone clinics and frequent (and well-attended) grand rounds.

The Creighton University School of Medicine has recognized Dr. Egan with every award for which he has been eligible: the Golden Apple (from the students in 1980), the Distinguished Professor Award (its first recipient in 1985), the J.F. Sullivan Award for Excellence and Dedication to Resident Teaching (1986), and the Dedicated Teacher Award (1987). He received the Creighton University Distinguished Faculty Award in 1988.

Dr. Egan continues to conduct weekly sessions of the Harrison’s Club and Medicine Journal Club that he began in the mid-1960s. The golden anniversary of his appointment to the medical faculty will occur in 2004.
