SURGERY NEWS MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. Undoubtedly, 2020 was a year of enormous challenges ranging from a global pandemic, national political and social strife and even institutional uncertainties at our local level.

WINTER 2021

DIVISION NEWS Faculty within the Department of Surgery received their COVID-19 vaccinations per CDC guidelines and UTHSC policy. Pictured below are Drs. Denis Foretia, Regan Williams, and Alexander Feliz (Photos/UTHSC).

We have certainly all been deeply affected in our own ways. Through it all, I have been extraordinarily proud of how members of the Department of Surgery have been unified in adapting to the many “new normals” whether it be with respect to their personal lives, social responsibility, patient care and/or education.

I am thankful to all faculty and residents but in particular, to Dr. Alex Feliz, Associate Professor of Surgery, Division of Pediatric Surgery and Program Director of the General Surgery residency and Ms. Cynthia Tooley, Residency Coordinator for making our completely virtual residency interview season a success. We had a record number of applicants and interviewed many outstanding candidates.

Once again, we are very much looking forward to this year’s match.

In the midst of these times, the Department of Surgery continues to grow and in this issue’s Faculty Spotlight, we are pleased to introduce you to Dr. Andrew J. Kerwin, Professor and new Chief of the Division of Trauma/Surgical Critical Care.

As we enter 2021, we have glimmers of hope including the potential for renewed national stability, the dissemination of COVID-19 vaccines and the anticipation of all being able to gather together again. I remain honored to be a part of this Department and extremely grateful for all that you do. Wishing continued health and safety to you and your loved ones.

Sincerely,

NEW TRAUMA/SURGICAL CRITICAL CARE CHIEF AIMS TO BUILD ON LEGACY OF FORMER LEADERS Peggy Reisser, Communications Manager

If Andrew Kerwin, MD, FACS, DABS, experiences déjà vu as he comes to the University of Tennessee Health Science Center to join the faculty of the College of Medicine, it’s because he trained at the university more than two decades ago. Now, however, he comes as the chief of the division in which he trained, instead of as a fellow.

Dr. Kerwin is the new chief of the Division of Trauma/ Surgical Critical Care at UTHSC. He is also the Surgical Quality Officer at Regional One Health and the chief of Trauma at the Elvis Presley Trauma Center there.

Dr. Kerwin says his time as a fellow at UTHSC influenced his decision to return. He believes he was fortunate to learn from the “pioneers” of the UTHSC Trauma/Surgical Critical Care program.

Specifically, he points to Timothy C. Fabian, MD, former professor and chair of the UTHSC Department of Surgery, who started the trauma program in the early ‘80s and organized and developed The Elvis Presley Memorial Trauma Center at Regional One Health, now one of the highest-volume trauma centers in the United States. Dr. Kerwin also mentions Martin Croce, MD, the senior vice president and chief medical officer at Regional One Health, as well as a professor of surgery and the former chief of the Division Trauma/Surgical Critical Care at UTHSC. Dr. Kerwin is proud to follow in the footsteps of these physicians he considers role models. a Level 1 Trauma Center and one of the busiest in Florida.

“They really pioneered trauma care,” Dr. Kerwin says.

“They set the standard of trauma care, and so when I looked at the opportunity of coming here, to be able to take over and lead after they had done all this and established this legacy and to be able to enhance the pioneering care that they’ve done over the years was really appealing to me.”

Dr. Kerwin graduated from Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in Springfield in 1992, completed an internship at Loyola University Medical Center in 1993, and did his surgical residency at Medical College of Ohio. In 1997, he did his fellowship at UTHSC. Dr. Kerwin is board certified in general surgery and surgical critical care.

Dr. Kerwin previously served as the division chief of Acute Care Surgery at the University of Florida College of Medicine- Jacksonville, as well as the associate chair of the Department of Surgery and the Trauma Medical Director of UF Health Jacksonville,

Dr. Kerwin says he was drawn to trauma surgery and critical care because of the mechanics involved in

In addition to continuing to build the strong, cohesive, and collegial team in his division, Dr. Kerwin says he will focus on mentoring the newer faculty members on his team. He says he will also “look for any opportunities to continue to enhance the pioneering roots that were laid by Dr. Croce and Dr. Fabian and to enhance the national and international reputation of the program.”

“We are thrilled to have been able to recruit Dr. Kerwin back to Memphis. In addition to his strong leadership skills and national reputation, he approaches his work with a commitment to excellence, quality and professionalism. We look forward to benefitting from his leadership,” said David Shibata, MD, FACS, FASCRS, Harwell Wilson Alumni Endowed Chair in Surgery.

JAMES W. PATE, MD IN MEMORIAM It is with heavy hearts that we inform you of the passing of James W. Pate, MD, on January 31, 2021 from complications related to COVID-19.

Dr. Pate served as chair of the UTHSC Department of Surgery from 1974-1989.

He was born in Wedowee, Alabama on Aug. 28, 1928. He took his premedical education at Emory University in Atlanta and received his medical degree from the Medical College of Georgia in 1950. He entered the U.S. Navy and completed a rotating internship at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland from June 1950July 1951, at which time he began a general surgery residency at the same institution. While serving the first two years of his general surgery residency, he also headed the Division of Experimental Surgery at the National Naval Medical Center from July 1952 through July 1953. While there, he helped to develop the freeze-dried process for preserving arteries to use as grafts and proved the practicality of this process with combat-wounded casualties during the Korean War. He was also the codiscoverer of the bioelectrical causes of blood clots in arteries and veins.

He completed two additional years of general surgery residency from 1953-55 at the Medical College of Alabama as well as two further years (1955-57) of residency in thoracic surgery at the Veterans Administration Medical Teaching Group in Memphis. He began his career in Memphis in 1957 as the assistant chief of Thoracic Surgery at the Veterans Hospital. He joined our faculty as an assistant professor of surgery and rapidly rose to become professor of surgery in 1965.

His contributions to literature and his innovative ideas have shaped the way surgeons now perform current operations in cardiovascular surgery. He was a national leader in developing new techniques for open heart surgery, including being the first surgeon in the country to replace a heart valve with an artificial valve in pediatric patients. He was also the first surgeon in the country to replace a heart valve and implant a pacemaker for emergency surgery, following a gunshot wound of the heart.

In 1982, Dr. Pate was honored for outstanding and distinguished public service and received awards from the medical staff at the City of Memphis Hospital for his efforts in training general and thoracic surgical residents, his leadership in establishing surgical intensive care for the region and his development of cardiovascular surgery and training. He has authored over 125 papers for scientific journals, co-authored Science of Surgery and contributed chapters to several surgery textbooks.

During his tenure as chairman, he was able to consolidate two local hospital-based surgical residency programs into the University of Tennessee program. He expanded the number of residents a year from four to eight. He obtained commitment from the University of Tennessee, Memphis, Shelby County and the State of Tennessee to build a trauma center that would be staffed by university surgeons. He has been a member of the board of governors of the American College of Surgeons, a member of the Accreditation Committee on Graduate Medical Education, president of the Southern Thoracic Surgical Association, and a founding member of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons. He was honored as a distinguished university professor for the Department of Surgery.

His extraordinary contributions and remarkable continued involvement in the UTHSC Department of Surgery and College of Medicine will be terribly missed.
