He also earned an M.F.A. from the University of Iowa in 1991. Verghese has been involved mainly in medical research mostra altro and teaching. His specialties include internal medicine, pulmonary diseases, geriatrics, and infectious diseases; the latter has led to an interest in AIDS, which has been the subject of much of his writing.

My Own Country received the Lambda Literary Award for Nonfiction and was selected by Time as one of the top five books of 1994.
