Surgeon general taking job at Morehouse, source says

ATLANTA -Surgeon General David Satcher has accepted a job at Morehouse College, where he will lead a new center devoted to promoting effective health care, The Associated Press learned Monday. <br> <br> The Morehouse School of Medicine planned a news conference Tuesday to announce the first director of its National Center for Primary Care. A school source speaking on condition of anonymity confirmed Satcher&#39;s hiring to The AP. <br> <br> In Washington, spokeswoman Cynthia Bennett said the surgeon general would formally announce his plans Tuesday. <br> <br> Satcher was appointed surgeon general by President Clinton. His four-year term ends Feb. 13, and last year he announced plans to step down. <br> <br> The Morehouse job would be a homecoming of sorts for Satcher, who holds a bachelor&#39;s degree in medicine from the Atlanta school. He also spent time as a professor there before becoming director of the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. <br> <br>
