Mont Reid
Surgical
Society
The Mont Reid Surgical Society of the
University of Cincinnati, founded in 1950, is
composed of graduates of the general surgery
training program who are active in encouraging
professional fellowship among the alumni to
advance the art and science of surgery. The
Society assists the current resident staff and
the Department through funding, lectures,
symposiums, publications, and other programs.
The Mont Reid Surgical Society has
education as one of its cornerstone goals and
launched a Campaign in March 1999 to aid
the Department in continuing to provide an
outstanding educational experience for
residents. Thanks to the generous donations
of its members, the Mont Reid Campaign has
now reached over $100,000. This money is
used to assist the Department with funding
for residents to attend meetings, purchase
computers and software, and other educational
endeavors. It is also used in recruitment for
minority medical students. Selected minority
medical students from around the country
spend six weeks working with our surgical
residents as part of their surgical clerkship.
