As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Having accrued nearly two decades of inimitable expertise in the field, Dr. Hawley has garnered a laudable reputation as a neurological consultant on behalf of the Carilion New River Valley Medical Center, an award-winning facility in Christiansburg, Virginia, since 1992. He also serves as the director of the Twin County Regional Hospital's sleep laboratory and clinic in Galax, Virginia, since 2010. Dr. Hawley initially worked with the D.C. Veterans Administration Medical Center in Washington, where he was the chief of the neuromuscular section and Georgetown University's muscular dystrophy association clinic as a staff physician. He also enjoyed five years with Mobile Medical Care Inc., an organization for the indigent in Rockville, Maryland, as the medical director from 1986 to 1992.
Originally aspiring to pursue a career in psychiatry, Dr. Hawley later transitioned into sleep medicine and muscular dystrophy, as it was a more precise specialty. Studying such common elements as electro-physiology, which is the electrical activity of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles, he found this area of medicine much more satisfying. Today, as a seasoned researcher, Dr. Hawley has disseminated many of his findings by authoring numerous scholarly articles in professional publications on topics like heart disease and alcoholism, as well as neurological complications associated with alcoholism.
Deeply involved with his local community, Dr. Hawley enjoyed more than three decades as a Sunday school teacher at Holy Redeemer in Maryland and Saint Jude's Catholic Church in Christiansburg, Virginia, between 1976 and 2008. He was also the president of the Washington D.C. VA Medical Center Assembly of Physicians. Most notably, Dr. Hawley served to the rank of a captain in the U.S. Army Preventive Medicine Corps between 1969 and 1971 and as the chief of preventive medicine for the U.S. Civil Administration of the Ryukyu Islands in Okinawa.
Dr. Hawley received a Bachelor of Arts in biology at Fordham College in 1963, followed by a Doctor of Medicine at Drexel University in 1967. Additional educational pursuits to his credit include an internal medicine internship and residency at Georgetown University Hospital from 1967 to 1969, a neurology residency and neuropathology fellowship at Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital between 1971 and 1974, and a clinical neurophysiology fellowship at the Institute of Neurological Sciences in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1974. Eminently qualified in his field, Dr. Hawley has been board certified in sleep medicine, pain medicine, clinical neurophysiology, neurology, and internal medicine, and is further licensed to practice medicine in Washington, D.C., Ohio, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina.
To support his professional career, Dr. Hawley is a lifetime member of the American Academy of Neurology, the American Medical Association, and the Kennedy Institute of Ethics. He is also aligned with the American Academy of Electrodiagnostic and Neuromuscular Medicine and the Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. Well regarded for his indelible contributions to the field, Dr. Hawley received several awards from the Okinawa Public Health Association, the Muscular Dystrophy Association of America and the Montgomery County Government in recognition of his work.
