Successful visit by two world leading endocrine surgeons to UCC
Students and colleagues at University College Cork’s (UCC) School of Medicine and Department of Surgery met with two of the world’s leading endocrine surgeons, Dr. Jim Norman and Professor Martin Walz at Cork University Hospital (CUH) recently as part of the RCSI Charter Day.
Professor Walz and Dr. Norman participated in a number of surgeries in CUH whilst being watched by many of our surgical students and colleagues from UCC and CUH.
Professor Paul Redmond, Head of the Department of Surgery at University College Cork and Cork University Hospital said: “this was a truly unique opportunity for UCC-CUH and Irish surgery to welcome and greatly benefit from the knowledge of these two revolutionary and renaissance surgeons of our time. Our students were immensely delighted that our guests were so forthcoming with help and advice and answered their questions”.
Dr. Jim Norman is based in Florida, America. He is recognised as one of the world’s foremost experts on parathyroid disease and hyperparathyroidism. Professor Martin Walz is based in Essen, Germany. He has dedicated his surgical career to endocrine surgery, with a special interest in minimally invasive techniques in general surgery.
