Surgical Grand Rounds

John D. Martin, MD, was associated with Emory University for more than 70 years. A graduate of Emory College and Emory University School of Medicine, Dr. Martin joined the faculty as an assistant in surgery in 1930 and served as Professor and Joseph B. Whitehead Chairman of the department of surgery from 1957-1971. During his tenure as chair, Dr. Martin successfully integrated the separate residency programs at Grady Memorial Hospital, Piedmont Hospital, Emory University Hospital and the Atlanta VA Medical Center, streamlining and creating an even more effective curriculum. Dr. Martin was president of the Southern Surgeon's Club, the Southeastern Surgical Congress, and the Southern Surgical Association.

The J.D. Martin Visiting Professorship and Lectureship was inaugurated in 1977 and takes place annually in the spring. In 1979, Dr. Martin coauthored The History of Surgery at Emory University School of Medicine. An active participant in the department during his years as emeritus professor, Dr. Martin passed away in 1991.
