Steinman (born February 7, 1945) is an American physician, retired American US Public Health Service (USPHS) rear admiral, former Chief Medical Officer of the United States Coast Guard (surgeon general-equivalent), expert in sea-survival, hypothermia and drowning, and an advocate for the open service of LGBT people in the US military.[1][2][3][4] Early life and educationBorn in Newark, Ohio, Steinman moved to Los Angeles with his family as a young boy.[2][3] His father was a chemist and chemical plant owner and his mother was a housewife.[2][3] Steinman earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1966 and his medical degree from Stanford University in 1971.[2][3] Following medical school Steinman completed an internship at the Mayo Clinic.[2][3] Steinman also has a Master of Public Health degree from the University of Washington.[4] CareerAttracted by the Coast Guard's (USCG) image as the country's "premier search and rescue agency" he joined the USPHS in order to pursue his interests in emergency medicine.[2][3] Steinman was commissioned by the USPHS as a lieutenant and assigned to the USCG in July 1972.[2][3][4] Following graduation from the U. S. Navy's aerospace medicine school at NAS Pensacola, Steinman qualified and served as a USCG flight surgeon.[1][2][3][4] As part of his duties as a flight surgeon, Steinman participated in numerous rescues at sea of ill and injured personnel. These occasionally required him to be lowered and recovered from vessels at sea by a helicopter rescue basket.[3] With the exception of Coast Guard Base Kodiak, Steinman was the lone physician on staff at all of his field duty stations.[3] During his time on active duty with the Coast Guard, Steinman was instrumental in establishing the Coast Guard's system of emergency medical services, including the establishment of the Coast Guard EMT School at Petaluma, CA. He also established the Coast Guard Wellness Program, emphasizing good nutrition, physical fitness and avoidance of tobacco products. He is best known, however, for his research into sea-survival, hypothermia and drowning, publishing numerous scientific articles and book chapters and making numerous presentations at medical and search and rescue conferences on these topics. In 1993, Steinman was selected for promotion to flag officer to serve as the Coast Guard Director of Health and Safety.[4] In addition to his administrative duties he also did primary research on hypothermia and survival at sea.[3] Steinman retired from the USPHS in 1997 and later served on the Presidential Special Oversight Board for Department of Defense Investigations of Gulf War Chemical and Biological Incident investigating Gulf War syndrome.[3][4][5] Steinman is a Fellow of the American College of Preventive Medicine.[6] His military awards and citations include the Distinguished Service Medal and the Legion of Merit.[7]
AdvocacyAfter his retirement, Steinman came out publicly as a gay man in a 2003 New York Times news article featuring Brigadier General Keith Kerr (CSMR, ret.) and Brigadier General Virgil A. Richard (USA, ret.).[1][3] The three flag officers were made available to the Times by the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network in a move timed to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the Clinton administration's "Don't ask, don't tell" (DADT) policy concerning U.S. military service by gays and lesbians.[1][3] At the time, Kerr, Richard, and Steinman were the highest-ranking members of the military to publicly acknowledge being gay and they did so in an attempt to foment dialogue with the aim of getting DADT changed.[1][3] In 2008, Steinman joined 103 other generals and admirals in signing an open letter calling upon President-elect Barack Obama to end DADT and allow gays and lesbians to serve openly in the U.S. military.[8] In 2014, Steinman joined with former US Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders to co-chair the Transgender Military Service Commission, sponsored by the Palm Center.[4][9] Among other things, the Commission found: "There is no compelling medical rationale for banning transgender military service, and medical regulations requiring the discharge of all transgender personnel are inconsistent with how the military regulates medical and psychological conditions."[9] The Commission's final report was published in the journal Armed Forces & Society.[4] Publications (Partial List)
