Dr. Philip Wagner - Visiting Professor at Assaf Harofeh Hospital in Tel Aviv

Philip J. Wagner, MD, HSS Attending Anesthesiologist and Associate Director of the HSS Acute Pain Service, recently visited Israel as an invited guest of Assaf Harofeh Hospital near Tel Aviv. Dr Wagner spent a busy and very exciting 8 days at the 1200 bed general hospital teaching Regional Anesthesia and Acute Postoperative Pain Management.

"Assaf Harofeh has a very strong orthopedic surgery department, and bringing the knowledge and anesthesia techniques developed here at HSS will make an enormous contribution to patient care in Israel," says Dr. Wagner. The Department of Anesthesiology at Assaf Harofeh has expressed an interest in collaborative research, and will be encouraging their staff to apply for ongoing education in regional anesthesia through the HSS Regional Anesthesiology Fellowship training program.
