ARKADI M. RYWLIN, M.D.
The Arkadi M. Rywlin Pathology Slide Seminar was founded by Dr. Saul Suster in 1991 to honor the memory of
his mentor and teacher, the late Professor Arkadi M. Rywlin (1923–1987). Professor Rywlin was born in the free
city of Danzig and completed his medical training at the University of Geneva, Switzerland. He immigrated to
the United States in 1953 and served as the Director of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine at the Mount Sinai
Medical Center of Greater Miami and as Professor of Pathology at the University of Miami School of Medicine
until his untimely death in 1987.
Professor Rywlin attained international recognition for his expertise and numerous publications in the pathology of the bone
marrow. He was the author of more than 100 original articles spanning a variety of subjects in pathology and achieved
international recognition with the publication of his textbook on Histopathology of the Bone Marrow (Little, Brown & Co.,
Philadelphia, 1974). Professor Rywlin was an outstanding educator ad trained hundreds of residents and fellows. He combined
a classical education in pathology with a strictly logical and critical approach to solving problems in pathology. The club was
founded to honor the memory of this master of Pathology and to celebrate and promote the spirit of critical thinking that was the
legacy of Professor Rywlin to his students.
