Former Plastic Surgeon Dr. Joel Roskind Will Lecture Course at Boston University
Posted in Education + Schooling, Health Issues, Medical Hall on March 4th, 2010Following a occupation in plastic surgery that spanned 30 years and stints in Miami and San Diego, plastic surgeon Joel Roskind MD has returned to New York, where he ran a clinic for many years, to teach, consult and pursue his interest in Judaic Spirituality. He will also return to lecturing at Boston University Medical School, where he instructed previously. He will also advise in the fields of practice management and facilities accreditation.
Dr. Joel Roskind has been a medical renaissance man throughout his career. After finishing his bachelors degree at Franklin and Marshall College and Hofstra University, medical school at the University of Louisville and internships at the Montefiore-Einstein Medical Center in the Bronx and St. Louis University Hospitals, he went on to a fellow ship at the Christine Kleinert Institute of Hand and Microsurgery in Louisville, Kentucky.
He then joined the United States Navy and served as part of a three-man plastic surgery team. During that time, he traveled to Mexico to do surgery on disadvantaged kids with congenital deformities. Also during that time, he began his teaching occupation at the University of California, San Diego. He has gone on to advise at the Nassau University Medical Center, North Shore University Hospital, Cornell Medical School and the University Of Miami School Of Medicine. He will now be instructing for the second time at Boston University School of Medicine.
Dr. Joel Roskind has always taken a broader view of the medical area, and has played an active role in both regulatory and business affairs. As skyrocketing health care costs gave rise to ambulatory and outpatient clinics, Dr. Joel Roskind became interested in patient safety in these clinics, an interest that eventually led him to become an inspector for the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAASF).
Fulfilling the trust that patients put in their physicians has always been a part of Dr. Joel Roskinds personal mission as a physician. Through his career as a teacher and adviser, Dr. Joel Roskind hopes to continue to contribute to the medical profession in a broader and more comprehensive way. When he is not lecturing or consulting, he plans to pursue a personal interest in Judaic studies.
