Western University's Department of Surgery, which was established in 1881, is one of the largest departments in the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry. The department, which has eight divisions, has grown a lot in the past ten years. The J.C. Kennedy Chair in Orthopaedic Surgery, the Sandy Kirkley Chair in Musculoskeletal Research, the Graham King Musculoskeletal Research Chair and the Ray and Margaret Elliott Chair in Surgical Innovation are just a few of the endowed chairs that have been established in recent years. The department's international visibility has significantly increased as a result of international initiatives in education, research and surgical advancements. The department has become a sought-after training opportunity due to its long history of surgical innovation and patient-centered care.
