Bud Hunton

Bud’s writing experience began shortly after retiring from the Navy in 1975. During his tenure in the military as a Navy Hospital Corpsman, he traveled the world practicing his medical skills as a Physician’s Assistant aboard ship. On shore duty stations (Naval Hospitals), he was a trained Radiographer (X-Ray Technologist) and had acquired adequate rank to also be a department manager. After retiring from the Navy, he worked at civilian hospitals in Cincinnati and Dayton Ohio serving as the department director. While at Grandview Hospital in Dayton, he began writing a monthly column for Advance Magazine out of Valley Forge Pa. His monthly articles were usually topics he had lectured on at annual meetings and conventions.

He was recruited by Sinclair Community College and remained in this position as an instructor for twenty-two years. During this time he was recruited by McGraw Hill Publishers to assist with Editing and writing medical textbooks, including textbooks that were used at Sinclair College such as Basic Medical Terminology. During his time at Sinclair, Bud taught Basic Medical Terminology, Advanced Medical Terminology, and Introduction to computers.
