Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Jeffrey A. Norton could have been a professional football player but instead he chose to pursue a career in medicine and in the process became an outstanding academic surgeon. This story recounts his ascent from a small town in Massachusetts to the pinnacle of academic surgery.
METHODS: After graduating from high school in Albany, New York, Jeff continued his education at Dartmouth University, the State University of New York Upstate Medical University at Syracuse (SUNY Upstate Medical University), and the Department of Surgery at the Duke University School of Medicine. When he completed the surgical residency, he spent 10 years at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) where he and his colleagues made significant contributions to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with endocrine tumors. After leaving the NCI, he had highly productive years as a Professor in Departments of Surgery at Washington University, the University of California at San Francisco, and Stanford University. He became a member of every major academic surgical society and won numerous awards for his accomplishments in research. His expertise in educating medical students and surgical residents is legendary.
RESULTS: In addition to his academic accomplishments, Jeff trained legions of young surgeons who subsequently made significant contributions in surgical investigation and clinical surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: It is most fitting that the Stanford University School of Medicine has assembled a group of Jeffrey Norton\'s colleagues in academic medicine and surgery to pay tribute to his achievements as a surgical scientist.

摘要：
背景：JeffreyA.Norton本可以成为一名职业足球运动员，但他选择从事医学事业，并在此过程中成为一名杰出的学术外科医生。这个故事讲述了他从马萨诸塞州的一个小镇到学术外科的顶峰。
方法：从奥尔巴尼高中毕业后，纽约,杰夫在达特茅斯大学继续他的学业，纽约州立大学锡拉库扎北部医科大学（纽约州立大学北部医科大学），和杜克大学医学院的外科系。当他完成手术时，他在美国国家癌症研究所（NCI）工作了10年，在那里他和他的同事们为内分泌肿瘤患者的诊断和治疗做出了重大贡献。离开NCI后，他在华盛顿大学的外科系担任教授，取得了很高的成就。加州大学旧金山分校，和斯坦福大学。他成为每个主要学术外科学会的成员，并因其研究成果而获得了无数奖项。他在教育医学生和外科住院医师方面的专业知识具有传奇色彩。
结果：除了他的学术成就，杰夫培训了大批年轻的外科医生，他们随后在手术研究和临床手术中做出了重大贡献。
结论：斯坦福大学医学院召集了一组JeffreyNorton的学术医学和外科同事，以表彰他作为外科科学家的成就，这是最恰当的。
