Education
Rusk graduated from the University of Missouri in 1923 and received his medical degree at the Pennsylvania School of Medicine in 1925. He completed his internship at St. Luke's hospital in St. Louis.
Early career
Rusk served Internal Medicine in St. Louis from 1926 to 1942, becoming a Washington University School of Medicine, Barnes-Jewish, and chairman of the Intern Committee in St. Luke's, where he had begun as an intern. Rusk began training in 1942 and joined the Air Force. He began as the director of medical services at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri. He soon established a convalescent service for those who had recovered from their illness, but military service was not yet ready to resume. Rusk served on the Baruch Committee on Physical Medicine's rehabilitation subcommittee in 1943. Rusk quickly established the first Air Force rehabilitation center in Pawling, New York, which was designed to assist airmen returning from war with physical and mental injuries. Rusk called it "a mash-up of a hospital, a country club, a school, a farm, a vocational education center, a resort, and a small bit of home." A total of 12 such centers were due to be opened by the Air Force during the remainder of World War II. Rusk was convinced by Bernard Baruch's celebrity to start rehabilitation services for all military branches. Rusk was part of the American entourage in 1945, and he attended the Potsdam conference. He talked to GM Bradley about rehabilitation medicine while on this trip. Following the war, he continued to advise the VA on the development of a rehabilitation service.
