As a pediatric surgeon, Powell belonged to a small group of surgeons who trained beyond general surgery residency in order to care for neonates and children with complex congenital defects with the understanding of the different physiology of the growing child. During his distinguished career at USA, Powell was a professor in the department of surgery and director of the division of pediatric surgery.
