Dr. Benjamin Rush Symposium and Gala Celebration

Dr. Ben Rush

 

In May 2015, we had the pleasure of honoring the Department’s founding father, Dr. Benjamin Rush, Jr. Over 200 guests, including past and current faculty and residents, celebrated his legacy. It was a night of friendships, fond memories, camaraderie, and most importantly, remembering Dr. Rush’s surgical career. The event was one that honored the past, while paving the way for future generations in the Department of Surgery.

Hernia Day - 2015

Hernia 1Hernia 2Hernia 3Hernia 4

On March 18th the ISHI club here at NJMS   presented International Hernia Day.  This event provided an opportunity for medical students to learn about the surgical burden of hernias on low and middle income nations, and allowed them to get an early start practicing surgical knot-tying and suturing.  Our Trauma Critical Care Fellow, Dr. Gerard Baltazar started off the evening’s events with an overview of hernias and various methods of repair.  NJMS General Surgery Resident, Dr. Advaith Bongu, then presented his Global Surgery research investigating the hernia burden in Kabala, Sierra Leone.  Following these lectures, the students broke up into small groups led by surgery residents to learn the skills of knot-tying and basic suturing; leaving the students with both new knowledge and new skills at the end of the night!
