The Department of Surgery would like to acknowledge the guest speakers of our endowed lecture series.

Most recently, Sandra L. Wong, M.D., M.S., of the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, gave a presentation in January entitled “Regional Nodal Disease in Melanoma: An Epic Road Trip” as part of the Vera and Forrest Lumpkin Memorial Lecture in Surgery. It was an excellent way to begin the departmental endowed lecture series for 2019.
