Revised: February 29, 2012 University of California, San Francisco curriculum vitae

FORMAL SCHEDULED CLASSES FOR UCSF STUDENTS:

Dr. Schecter regularly teaches first-year medical students in the Anatomy Laboratory, third-year medical students in the Surgery 110 Course (serving as a preceptor and lecturer). Fourth-year medical students on their trauma rotation at San Francisco General Hospital as well as interns and residents. Dr. Schecter also directs the Advanced Trauma Life Support Course given to residents one to two times per year. Dr. Schecter was recognized by two Kaiser Teaching Awards (the last in 2006) and in 2008 and 2009 chaired the Kaiser Award Selection Committee. Dr. Schecter is no longer eligible for the Kaiser Award as he has won it twice. Dr. Schecter also serves on the Board of Directors of the Gold-Headed Cane Society and is a member of the Advisory Council of the Haile Debas Academy of Surgical Educators. In addition, Dr. Schecter serves as one of the two faculty advisors for the Department of Surgery Global Health Program and serves on the Advisory Council of the Global Health Scholars Program. Dr. Schecter also gives multiple invited lectures every year within UCSF, within local universities, in local, state, national and international meetings. Dr. Schecter also serves as an instructor in the Combat Trauma Life Support Course in the Medical Core of the Israel Defense Forces, one to three times per year. Dr. Schecter designed and wrote a trauma course which is still used on a regular basis to train medical personnel at the Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem and has been adapted and used at the Mulago Hospital in Kampala, Uganda as part of the UCSF Department of Surgery Global Health Program.

Additional Academic Activities since January 1, 2004

I was on Sabbatical for 6 months serving as a Visiting Professor of Surgery at the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, a campus of the Ben Gurion University. I am giving a 15 week course to the hospital staff in Trauma Care. In addition I helped organize and conduct two 2 day Trauma Courses for the Physician Staff. I have given the following lectures since January 1, 2004:

Introduction to Trauma Care

I am also studying the Management of Mass Casualty Events. Unfortunately, we have had two suicide bus bombings since I arrived in Jerusalem and I played a major role in the management of the mass casualty event on both occasions. This experience has resulted in the submission of two abstracts dealing with various aspects of organization for mass casualty events. One was submitted to an International Congress on the Medical Aspects of Terrorism and the second was submitted to the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma. I have not yet heard whether the abstracts were accepted for presentation. We are planning a review of the spectrum of injury resulting from Terrorist Bombing incidents to help better plan for the management of these patients.
