Alexander
J. Walt: Reflections Edited by Scott A. Dulchavsky and Seymour I. Schwartz Foreword by David Adamany |
Internationally
known, Dr. Alexander J. Walt (1923-1996) expanded the breadth of surgical
education. Dr. Walt believed that "a cultured surgeon is a better surgeon,"
and instructed his residents on the importance of being welll-rounded individuals.
Dulchavsky and Schwartz bring together a collection of Dr. Walt's papers
that demonstrates his keen wit, humor, and the personal challenges that
characterized this great surgeon. Included are his visionary works on graduate
medical education, compassionate patient care, and the future of surgery
for the twenty-first century. Each of the papers in this collection includes a commentary by a major American surgeon that places it within historical context and calls attention to the special contributions made by Dr. Walt. |
