Naomi Bluestone attended the University of Delaware, where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature in 1958. She was admitted to the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, where she earned a Doctor of Medicine in 1962. After graduation from medical school, Bluestone interned at the Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia and then got a Master of Public Health degree from the University of Michigan in 1964. She later completed a residency in public health and preventive medicine at the New York City Department of Health.
Naomi Bluestone began her career in 1964 as an assistant director of medical care services at New York City Department of Welfare & Department of Health (now New York City Health Department), where she served until 1966. She held several other important positions in public health and community medicine, such as an assistant director of the Department of Community Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City from 1966 to 1969, and Director of Community and Preventive Medicine at Bird S. Coler Memorial Hospital (now Coler Specialty Hospital) in 1972-75. She worked as a physician-in-charge at Manhattan-Dunlap State Hospital (now Manhattan Psychiatric Center) from 1969 to 1972.
In 1967, Naomi received the post of an assistant professor of Community Medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine (now Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai). From 1972 to 1975, she was an assistant professor of Community and Preventative Medicine at New York Medical College. From 1974 to 1977, she held the post of an assistant commissioner of Chronic and Long Term Care and Medicaid deputy executive medical director at the New York City Department of Health.
Naomi Bluestone received the post of faculty coordinator in social medicine of the Residency Program in Social Medicine at Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx in 1977. At the same year, she also took the post of an associate professor of Community Health at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. From 1978, she was an adjunct professor of medical anthropology at the New School of Social Research (now New School Welcome Center). In 1986, Bluestone entered a psychiatry residency training program at Creedmoor Psychiatric Center, and North Shore University Hospital in Long Island.
From 1988 to 1990, Bluestone wrote a regular column for The Women’s Record entitled, Ask Dr. Bluestone, that addressed psychosocial issues for career women. In 1990, she guest-edited a special issue of the New York State Journal of Medicine entitled Women as Physicians. She served as a deputy editor of the New York state journal of Medicine, and as a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Community Health. She wrote for the Dear Abby column. Bluestone wrote about 200 articles in professional as well as lay journals. She wrote a book, 'So You Want to Be a Doctor?, in 1981, for college students contemplating medical careers and fielded the question with humor and satire.
Dr. Bluestone was a leading medical writer and editor, and a specialist in both public health and psychiatry. She gained a large following of young physician readers in the 1970s through her regular columns in publications such as The New Physician, Medical Dimensions, and Resident and Staff Physician. Through satire and humor, she addressed many of the leading issues confronting American medicine and especially focused on women as both physicians and patients.
