Recent academic promotions at the Department of Surgery

Dear Colleagues,
 
Please join me in warmly congratulating our Department of Surgery faculty members who have recently been promoted to a higher academic rank (see list below), after a thorough review by the Decanal Promotions Committee of the Temerity Faculty of Medicine.
 
The Department of Surgery had a 100% success rate with our promotion applications for this cycle, which is a tribute to the hard strategic work of our Departmental Promotions Committee, chaired by Earl Bogoch. I wish to especially acknowledge the critical role that staff member Sylvia Perry plays in this process, and thank her for her dedication.
