He married Valerie Krug in 1968. They were later divorced. Clark started on a serious quest for knowledge when he graduated as a National Merit Scholar from Highland High School in Salt Lake City, UT, in 1960. He had already accepted a scholarship to Harvard when he received the appointment to the Air Force Academy. He turned back the National Merit Scholarship to attend the Academy at the age of 17. He graduated with a double major in engineering science and basic science. The following year, Clark earned a master's degree in electrical engineering. He served as a regular officer (to captain) in the U.S. Air Force working for the Air Force Satellite Control Facility from 1964 to 1968. He also worked part-time as a scientific programmer for the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center from 1965 to 1968. Clark served as a member of the Technical Staff of Hughes Aircraft Company in Fullerton, CA, from 1968 to 1972. Clark was still reaching for higher goals when he received his Ph.D. in computer science from Leland Stanford Junior University in Palo Alto in 1972. In 1979, his dissertation was published as one of “The Most Outstanding Dissertations in the Computer Science Series.” He then served as an assistant professor of Information and Computer Science at the University of California at San Diego from 1972 to 1974. After becoming interested in computerized medicine, Clark applied and was chosen as one of 29 out of 5,500 applicants for a University of Miami School of Medicine Program called “Ph.D. to M.D.” He received his M.D. in 1976 and interned at Mercy Hospital and Medical Center in San Diego, also serving his residency there.
