Mark Your Calendar: Randall W. Powell Endowed Memorial Lectureship

Dr. Oluyinka O. Olutoye

The 2018 Randall W. Powell Endowed Memorial Lectureship in Pediatric Surgery, hosted by the University of South Alabama Department of Surgery, will feature Dr. Oluyinka O. Olutoye, co-director of the Texas Children's Fetal Center, a pediatric surgeon and a member of the fetal surgery team at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston.

Dr. Olutoye will present "To Mentor and Be Mentored" at 4:30 p.m. Sept. 6, at the Strada Patient Care Center.

His second lecture, titled “Perinatal Management of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia,” will take place at 7 a.m. Sept. 7, in the USA Medical Center second-floor conference room.

The lectureship is named in honor of Dr. Randall Powell, former professor of surgery and pediatrics at the USA College of Medicine, who passed away in 2017. As a pediatric surgeon, Dr. Powell belonged to a very small group of surgeons who trained beyond general surgery residency in order to care for neonates and children with all the complex congenital defects and the different physiology of the growing child. While at USA, Dr. Powell was director of the division of pediatric surgery and professor of physician assistant studies.

Both lectures are CME accredited. For more information, contact the Department of Surgery at (251) 445-8230.
