His enduring legacy in surgical education has profoundly impacted our community, influencing countless residents and faculty with his wisdom and guidance.
The McGill University Health Centre has announced two new units to ease overcrowding in emergency rooms and improve post-operative care.

Dear Colleagues and Trainees,
Last week at the 6th Clinical Innovation Competition, which showcases the top innovations of the entire Faculty of Medicine and Health Science and its nine-affiliated hospitals, the Department of Surgery was outstandingly represented!
Our members won two of the three prejudged prizes for targeted innovation areas. Likewise, of the five finalist companies, three were from our Department and two of these were student-run companies that evolved from our Innovation Masters Program.
The inaugural Fiera Capital Awards recipients are:
Sayed Azher, a PhD student in experimental surgery who is finding ways to integrate technologies like artificial intelligence and virtual reality simulations into medical education.
Misghana Kassa, a MSc student in experimental surgery who is testing the efficacy of antimicrobial coatings that could safeguard replacement joints (i.e., hips, knees) against infection.
