Naffziger Surgical Society Day and Loupes Ceremony Held on September 27, 2019
The UCSF Howard C. Naffziger Surgical Society, the alumni society for graduates of the the UCSF General Surgery Residency and Plastic Surgery Residency Programs, met on September 27, 2019 for Naffziger Surgical Society Day, which brings together multiple generations of UCSF surgeons including former chief residents, surgeons in academic medicine, those with community practices, and retired surgeons. The symposium generates substantive discussion of the history and future of surgical training and practice, while celebrating the common lineage of graduates of the UCSF Department of Surgery.
PGY2 residents were gifted loupes in honor of distinguished alumni of the program as part of a long-standing tradition of connecting and celebrating current and past trainees.
Thanks to our @UCSFSurgery alumni for coming back to @UCSF for the @UCSF_Naffziger Day. Looking forward, informed by our department’s rich past! pic.twitter.com/W79QbcItV7

The always dapper Dr. Tim Nelson, of @UNM, a fixture at annual Naffziger Society events, honoree for presentation of loupes to Caroline Melhado, MD, and then giving talk, “The Surgeon and the 3-Foot Putt.” Words of wisdom from a leading academic surgeon and great teacher. pic.twitter.com/qz0SGhQvgC
