Ronald B. Hirschl (M.D. 1983), head of the Section of Pediatric Surgery in the Department of Surgery and surgeon-in-chief at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, was installed as the first Arnold G. Coran Collegiate Professor of Pediatric Surgery November 30, 2006, at a ceremony in the Ford Amphitheatre in University Hospital.
Hirschl’s academic and professional career at the U-M spans nearly three decades, beginning with his enrollment in the undergraduate program in 1976. The Section of Pediatric Surgery has made tremendous advances since Hirschl came to Mott in 1991 from The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Today, the section includes 10 surgeons and is known worldwide for academic leadership and patient care.
Recognized widely for his contributions to pediatric surgery, Arnold G. Coran, M.D., joined the University of Michigan faculty in 1974 as professor of surgery and head of the Section of Pediatric Surgery, and in 1981 he became surgeon-in-chief of C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. He presently is a professor of surgery in the Section of Pediatric Surgery.
Under Coran’s leadership, the Section of Pediatric Surgery developed into one of the top programs in the country. The section is noted for its excellent patient-centered clinical care, important research accomplishments and exceptional training opportunities for future pediatric surgeons.
