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.
The Society also provides financial assistance as needed to residents in the general surgery training program in the form of a loan which bears no interest during the training period or for the first three years after completion of training. The Society meets annually at the American College of Surgeons Clinical Congress where members can renew acquaintances and meet new residents as well as hear an update on the Department from the Chairman. In addition, the Society holds reunions every few years with both social and academic activities at the UC Department of Surgery. A newsletter is sent to regularly update members on various activities and events. 2005-2006 Mont Reid Surgical Society Officers President: Elliott J. Fegelman, M.D. President-Elect: Jay A.

The faculty, residents, medical students and nursing staff have welcomed the physician assistants and have been very impressed with their medical knowledge and work ethic. PAs currently serve on the General Surgery, Trauma, Vascular, and Cardiac Surgery services. They have been rapidly integrated into the healthcare delivery system and provide excellent care to the surgical patients. The PAs who are assigned to the Division of Trauma/Critical Care take in-house call several times a month, reducing the number of on-call nights for the junior residents. The PAs assigned to the Section of Cardiothoracic Surgery are on-call and available to the service each night and on weekends. This enables the residents to leave the hospital before the 8 pm duty hour requirement and have some weekends off. In addition, when a service lacks a full complement of residents, the PAs step in to fill those needs. As the role of physician assistants in healthcare continues to increase, legislation has been enacted in Ohio to provide PAs with a greater range of practice. One of the most important and favorable aspects of the new legislation is that it provides PAs with prescriptive authority. According to Michael Bowen, a member of the Physician Assistant Policy Committee to the State Medical Board of Ohio, PAs in Ohio will be credentialed, licensed, and granted full prescriptive authority in Ohio effective late 2008. The PAs have commented that working in the Department of Surgery provides great opportunity. They enjoy the challenges and rewards of working with patients, faculty, residents, students, and staff. They universally enjoy working at a high level in an intellectually challenging environment and are completely committed to excellence in patient care.
