The King/Hancock Orthopaedic Journal is an annual publication of the research efforts and presentations of the orthopaedic surgery residents at Atlanta Medical Center. The purpose of this journal is to present the ongoing work of these residents for educational purposes and communication with the orthopaedic community.
The King/Hancock Orthopaedic Journal is named for two of the historical cornerstone of the Georgia Baptist Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program.
RICHARD E. KING, M. D. was the original chairman and founder of the orthopaedic surgery residency program and served in that capacity until 1994. He is past President of the Atlanta and Georgia Orthopaedic Societies, Secretary and Vice-President of the American Orthopaedic Association and President and Secretary of the Russell Hibbs Society. As a teacher, Dr. King has shared his understanding of orthopaedics throughout the world in lectures, textbook, and manuscripts. We honor his enthusiasm for acquiring knowledge as well as his willingness to share it. He is a prominent member of the orthopaedic community and served as co-editor of Fractures in Children.
CHARLES I. HANCOCK, M. D. long and successful career was initiated with his distinction as one of the first residents of the Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program at Georgia Baptist Medical Center (now Atlanta Medical Center). He further exemplified himself in serving fellow physicians and the residency program as Chairman of the Department of Orthopaedics, as Vice-President, President and Chief of the Medical Staff. Dr. Hancock has served as a physician for the Crippled Children’s Medical Service in Thomasville, Georgia and Atlanta on a continuing basis since he was a resident, and most recently served as Vice-President for Medical Affairs and Services at Georgia Baptist from 1992 until his retirement. For his commitment to orthopaedics and involvement in medical care, we remain deeply appreciative. Both of these gentlemen served the program with great distinction, and it is for them that the residents named their research publication.
Letter from Director of Research
Timothy Ganey, Ph.D.
This past year witnessed a significant change in the scope of education at the Atlanta Medical Center. A site review by the RRC this past March provided the necessary impetus to evaluate and implement changes that will assure not only competence in education, but also accentuate the maturity required to attract the best candidates in our training program. Commitments by Tenet to augment the program with additional faculty have offered two full-time teaching positions.
In the past year, FDA legislation regulating the Medical Device Industry has reduced direct funding of physician educational experiences, suggesting that the appearance of promotional over academic intent amounts to soliciting clinical usage. While it is clear that the manufacturing sector needs to demonstrate procedures, products, and technologies, this new legislation will force medical device manufacturers and the pharmaceutical industry to regionalize meetings. In an effort to reduce the appearance of impropriety, the opportunity for local venues will be enhanced. Tenet has demonstrated its resolve to support Graduate Medical Education, currently supervising more than 1800 residents across the United States. An additional opportunity exists to pair the Tenet focus on Graduate Medical Education with industry support of product development. Bringing both aspects under a common roof is the goal of developing a “learning center” at the Atlanta Medical Center. This “Learning Center” has gained broad support, locally in Atlanta and through numerous contacts with industry.
Residents at Atlanta Medical Center continue to embody sufficient determination to not only excel in their clinical training but to achieve recognition for their contributions to new understanding. This past year has witnessed Glenn Gaston receiving the outstanding resident paper for his presentation at the National Hand Society Meeting, and numerous papers and presentation that have been accepted for national and international distribution. This speaks to exceptional involvement from our faculty that should be commended and to Tenet for supporting resident education.
Confident of a positive review of the program at the summer RRC meeting, the coming year should engage the current inertia and provide additional momentum for the near future. It is with great enthusiasm that our graduates be commended for their past leadership, and with new optimism that the incoming chiefs be supported in their challenge.
