Dan Dugi, Jr. M.D. is actively engaged
in the practice of Family Medicine and in teaching Resident Physicians
and Medical Students at Bohman Clinic in Cuero, Texas where he has maintained practice for over 25 years. Dr. Dugi has also engaged in Clinical Research Projects from Peptic Ulcer Disease to Wound Care. Dr. Dugi was educated at Schreiner’s University, St. Mary’s University, and the University of Texas Medical School in San Antonio, Texas. His residency training was in Family Practice at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas with special emphasis on Medicine, Surgery, and Obstetrics. Dr. Dugi chose to practice rural medicine in Cuero, Texas. He co-wrote the script for the first education based AIDS videos to promote abstinence early in his career, and “AIDS, Suddenly Sex Has Become Dangerous” was born. For this project, he lectured at the Governor’s Conference on AIDS in Arizona as well as in numerous other cities. |
A more recent project included a telemedicine project with the Cuero Independent School District.
During this time, Dr. Dugi also demonstrated a telemedicine consultation for Governor Rick Perry’s Select Committee on Technology in Austin, Texas.
Because of this project, Texas State Senator Ken Armbrister (D-Victoria, Dist.18) attached an amendment to a bill in which he titled 'Dugi Amendment'. This provision enabled a Physician to be reimbursed by Medicaid for conducting a telemedicine consult with a remote rural health clinic which would ultimately enhance the scope of health care services to rural sites.
Dr. Dugi has been active on many medical advisory boards and committees. He has served on the National Rural Health Policy Board and as a member of the National Peptic Ulcer Advisory Committee. He has served in several capacities a the Texas Medical Association and as Chairman of the Rural Health Committee.
Dr. Dugi has also served as Chief of Staff at Cuero Community Hospital where he is actively involved in daily family practice.
