The Annual Caroll Silver Dinner will be held on Tuesday, October 9, 2007 at 6:00 p.m. at the Faculty Club.

A decade ago, Dr. Coughlin started an elective overseas clinical rotation for UCSF orthopaedic surgery residents in South Africa. He also provides training to local physicians in developing countries through his involvement with Orthopaedics Overseas.

This lecture is held annually to honor Dr. Caroll M. Silver, who from 1946 to 1969, Caroll M. Silver was Chief of Orthopaedics at The Miriam Hospital. In that role, not only did he build one of the dominant orthopaedic forces in Rhode Island, but he gained national recognition for his innovative surgical procedures on temporomandibular joint arthritis, and his highly successful treatments of pediatric orthopaedic problems. He graduated from Columbia with a Bachelor of Science in 1932 and from Rush Medical School at the University of Chicago in 1936. He trained for orthopaedics at the Hospital for Joint Diseases. One of the most distinctive features of his life was his humanitarian efforts on behalf of the third world, teaching and operating in over 20 countries throughout the world.
