Alan Bruce Patterson was born on April 23, 1953, in Indianapolis, Indiana, to Samuel S. Patterson and Eunice Selma Brenner Patterson. His early life was connected with Indianapolis, where he later completed medical education and began postgraduate clinical training.
Patterson earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Tulane University in 1975 and a Doctor of Medicine degree from Indiana University in Indianapolis in 1979. Tulane developed from the Medical College of Louisiana, founded in New Orleans in 1834, and became a private university in 1884. Its long association with medical education placed Patterson's undergraduate studies within one of the Gulf South's oldest university traditions.
Indiana University School of Medicine traces its origins to the medical department established by Indiana University in 1903. By the time Patterson studied there, the Indianapolis medical center had developed into a major setting for physician education, clinical care, and medical research. His medical degree was followed by residency training in obstetrics and gynecology at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis.
Patterson began postgraduate training as a resident in obstetrics and gynecology at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis from 1979 to 1983. He also served as a consultant to Indianapolis Planned Parenthood from 1982 to 1983 and to United Parcel Service in Indianapolis during the same period.
From 1983 to 1991, Patterson was a member of the staff of Metro Health in Indianapolis. During these years he was also associated with Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis as a staff member, consultant, and instructor, and in 1985 he instructed a nurse course leading to Pitocin certification. These positions combined hospital-based obstetric and gynecologic practice with teaching and consultation.
Beginning in 1991, Patterson entered private practice in Pompano Beach and Boca Raton, Florida. Later professional records identify his practice as Alan B. Patterson, M.D., LLC, in Coral Springs, and list affiliations with Boca Raton Regional Hospital and other South Florida medical facilities. He has been certified in obstetrics and gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology since 1985.
Patterson is identified with Judaism, a monotheistic religious tradition rooted in the covenantal history, scriptures, laws, and communal practices of the Jewish people. Jewish religious life encompasses worship, study, ethical responsibility, observance, and the preservation of communal memory across changing historical settings.
Patterson's professional memberships include the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the Palm Beach County Medical Society, and the Florida Medical Association. He has also been associated with the American Cancer Society and the Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce, linking his medical career with health advocacy and civic activity.
His memberships in Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Eta Sigma, and Beta Beta Beta reflect participation in academic and scientific honor societies. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists serves physicians specializing in women's health, while the medical societies provide professional organizations for physicians and medical practice in Florida.
