We are pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Liane Feldman as Director, Division of General Surgery at the McGill University Health Centre and McGill University. Dr. Feldman replaces Dr. Jeffrey Barkun after his years of excellent service to the department and hospital in these roles, and Dr. Patrick Charlebois, who did an outstanding job in his role as Interim Director over the past several months.
Dr. Feldman was selected after a wide search, both external and internal, with input from department members, senior leadership of the hospital and Faculty of Medicine, and members of related departments. Dr. Feldman has demonstrated clinical excellence and innovation, and effective leadership skills. Her original work in quality metrics and surgical education has been recognized nationally and internationally.

She is the Director of the General Surgery Clinical Teaching Unit at the Montreal General Hospital site, Director of the Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) Fellowship Program and co-principal Investigator of the McGill Centre of Excellence in MIS. She has developed the Preoperative Clinic and Clinical Pathway Program at the MGH site and, working with Dr. Prosanto Chaudhury, will lead the MUHC Department of Surgery in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program of the American College of Surgeons.
Among her many accomplishments, Dr. Feldman represented Canada as the James IV Travelling Surgeon in 2010, received the Canadian Association for Medical Education National Award for “distinguished contribution to medical education,” chairs the Canadian Association of General Surgeons Committee on Laparoscopy and Endoscopy, and serves on the ACS Committee on Emerging Surgical Technologies and Education.
