Dr. Hausmann was born in Austin, Texas to the late Ruth Deveny Hornbuckle and Milton Friedrich Hausmann on February 8, 1944. Dr. Hausmann spent his early years traveling and living in various locations as a military dependent. He graduated from Harding College (now Harding University) and entered the University of Tennessee receiving his Master’s Degree in Physiology in 1968. He continued at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Medicine in Memphis, graduating with his medical degree in 1971 and completing his Internship and Residency in Internal Medicine in 1974.
Dr. Hausmann began his medical career serving as an Internist in the United States Air Force at Little Rock Air Force Base where he was promoted from Captain to Major. It was here also that he earned his pilot license. His career included a combination of private practice, administrative medicine, and hospital medicine. He was a Diplomat with the American Board of Internal Medicine, member of the American College of Physicians, American College of Physician Executives, Society of Hospital Medicine and Tennessee Medical Association.
Dr. Hausmann’s faith in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior was his guiding force in everything he did. He loved his family and cherished the title of “Opa” as a grandfather. He had a great enjoyment of photography, stamp collecting, and the study of genealogy. He deeply loved his roots in Texas. Like his father, Milton Hausmann, Jan loved music, played the flute, and had a dream of being an orchestra leader/band director. Like his father, he had a smile that would brighten a room, loved to whistle, and exhibited a fun-loving and cheerful spirit.
