Dr. Dan McNeill received his BS degree from North Carolina State, a BS as a Physician Assistant from Wichita State and his PhD in Anatomy from East Carolina University. Following two years as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, McNeill was hired as a neuroscientist at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine in 1988. In 1994, Dr. McNeill closed his research lab and assumed the position of Director of the OU Physician Associate Program; a position he held until his retirement in 2013. With his extensive involvement in health care delivery systems, public policy, and working with the uninsured, McNeill directed the creation of a new PA Program at Oklahoma City University from 2014-2018. McNeill recently joined the faculty of the developing PA Program at Northeastern State University. His love of teaching and science and his fascination with the night sky led him to team up with his next door neighbor, who shares the same interest in astronomy, to write this book.
