Chairman of the Board
The American Board of Surgery (ABS) has named Russell Postier, M.D., vice chairman of the board of directors.
Dr. Postier's term as vice chairman will begin in early 2007. In 2008, he will become chairman of the organization.
The ABS is composed of a board of directors representing the nation's surgical organizations.
"The ABS was formed to conduct examinations and certifications for surgeons in order to protect the public and improve the
quality of surgeons nationwide," Postier said. "I am honored to serve on this board with fellow colleagues who share the same
principles in ensuring quality surgical care."
Golf Tournament to raise Pancreatic Research Funds
The David Schultz Memorial Golf Classic in Flower Mound, TX, July 25, 2007 will raise money for early detection and
treatment of pancreatic cancer. The contributions from this golf classic will go directly to the OU Foundation Pancreatic
Cancer Research Fund in memory of David Schultz.
The modern tie evolved from an English boater's hatband, when he put school ribbons round his neck and tied them, four-in-hand. Thus began the trend of creating ties to denote schools, clubs, or achievement. Whatever their origin, your neckwear can be a signal to others about your school affiliation, personality, attitude, and professionalism.
Donald R. Carter, M.D. (1965) designed the University of Oklahoma Surgical Society tie. The design includes the names of the three full time Department of Surgery chairmen woven alternately with the initials OUSS in a narrow cream stripe on an OU red background.
Ties are available for $35.00.
Please contact the Department of Surgery for details. 405-271-5506.
