Zyromski, MD (Professor of Surgery, Indiana University School of Medicine) on April 19, 2021. John M. Howard, MD (1919-2011) was a giant in surgery and his many contributions include directing the U.S. Army’s MASH research unit during the Korean conflict and expanding this work to developing the U.S. Trauma Systems (for the latter, he was awarded the presidential Legion of Merit). Dr. Howard was an international leader and one of the fathers of pancreatology. His work with the pancreas included describing and highlighting the importance of gallstones in pancreatitis pathogenesis, and perhaps most notably his dedication and tenacity with pancreatic head resection. Dr. Nicholas Zyromski was fortunate to call Dr. Howard a mentor and friend; this talk will touch on some of Dr. Howard’s life highlights, including his passion for scholarship and lifetime lessons.
