Transplant Surgeon to Address ‘Docs For Dinner’ Event

An abdominal transplant surgeon will be the next keynote speaker at the next quarterly ‘Docs for Dinner’ tomorrow evening.

The event, hosted by Bermuda Healthcare Services and the Brown-Darrell Clinic, will be held at Cafe Lido at the Elbow Beach Hotel.

Dr Jay Alexander Graham, who operates out of the Bronx at Montefiore Medical Centre, will discuss “Renal Transplant Surgery in the Urban Setting” as his main subject.

After completing his general surgery residency at Georgetown University Hospital and research fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Dr Graham joined Montefiore after completing his abdominal transplant fellowship at Columbia University-New York Presbyterian Hospital.

He has authored more than 25 peer-review manuscripts and eight book chapters, and continues to pursue academic research with five internal review board approved protocols.

Specialising in liver, kidney and pancreas transplantation, he has a genuine passion for improving the lives of his patients through treating end-organ failure.

Registration and cocktails begins at 7pm, with dinner at 7:30pm and the presentations thereafter.
