Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is with great honor and pride that I present to you the inaugural edition of the Yale Department of Surgery Newsletter. As a national leader in surgery, these newsletters are a forum for the Department of Surgery to disseminate advances in care, research and education. These quarterly newsletters will highlight our surgical department’s diverse divisions and the tripartite missions of research, education and clinical care.
In this edition, you will hear from several of our distinguished faculty including:
- Vice Chair of Research Dr. John Geibel, who shares research accomplishments within the Department of Surgery, including ongoing areas of investigation and novel therapies.
- General Surgery Residency Program Director, Dr. Walter Longo, who provides an overview of graduate medical education, and departmental accomplishments.
- Departmental lead in Global Surgery, Dr. Doruk Ozgediz, who discusses the development and expansion of the Yale School of Medicine Global Surgery Program.
It is our goal to provide you with insight and perspective into the valuable work being done within the department.
Michael Caty, MD, MMM
