Gerald M. Fried, M.D.
Professor of Surgery
McGill University, Montreal, Canada
Gerald M. Fried, MD is Professor of Surgery and Adair Chair of
Surgical Education at McGill University and Steinberg-Bernstein Chair of
Minimally Invasive Surgery and Innovation and the McGill University
Health Centre Hospitals in Montreal, Canada.
After graduation from McGill University in Medicine in 1975, he trained in general and gastrointestinal surgery at McGill, the Ohio State University, and The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston.
At McGill University he has served as Program Director for General Surgery and currently oversees all educational activities within the department including undergraduate and residency programs, as well as continuing medical education and faculty development. He directs a research program in surgical education focusing on the use of simulation to teach and evaluate technical skills, and validation of evaluative methods. His work has led to the development and validation of the manual skills component of the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) program of the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) and The American College of Surgeons. He is currently co-chair of the FLS committee.
Dr. Fried is Past-President of the Canadian Association of General Surgeons, member of the Board of Governors, Advisory Council for General Surgery, and the Committee on Emerging Surgical Technologies and Education of The American College of Surgeons, member of the Board of Governors, Educational Resources Committee, and co-chair of the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery Committee of SAGES.
His research interests are in measuring technical performance in surgery, the development and validation of simulation technology, and measurement of outcomes after minimally invasive surgery. His clinical interest is in gastrointestinal surgery, and the multidisciplinary application of endoscopic, imaging, and minimally invasive technologies in the care of patients with digestive diseases.
Dr Dan Raemer
Associate Professor of Anaesthesia, Harvard Medical School
Bioengineer, Department of Anaesthesia and Critical Care, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
