COA Award of Merit Recipient
Dr. Robert É. Turcotte
Alain Jodoin, M.D., FRCSC
Head, Programme d’Orthopédie Édouard-Samson
Department of Surgery
Université de Montréal
Montreal, QC
Dr. Robert É. Turcotte was presented with the COA Award of Merit at the recent Annual Meeting held in Calgary. Robert is an obvious choice for such an honour.
After graduating in orthopaedic surgery from the University of Montreal in 1987, Robert obtained additional oncology training from the Mayo Clinic and the Hôpital Cochin in Paris. He became Assistant Professor at the University of Montreal in 1989, and was promoted to Associate Professor in 1999.
Robert was an ABC traveling fellow in 1995 and a CFBS travelling fellow in 1997. He has tremendously contributed to academic activities in our programme - serving in numerous functions and responsibilities on hospital and university committees.
He has published numerous papers and presented dozens of talks at national and international meetings. Since 1998, he has been a regular contributor at the Basic Science Course. He also co-chaired the Royal College clinical examinations from 1999 to 2001. Robert has been a member of the Executive of the Canadian Sarcoma Group since 2000, and has been very active on the Executive of the Quebec Orthopaedic Association (QOA).
His clinical activities have been primarily conducted at the Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont in Montreal since 1989. In this facility, he has created an outstanding oncology service which serves an ever increasing part of Quebec orthopaedic patients.
In 2003, Robert was nominated the Head of the Division of Orthopaedic Surgery at McGill University where he is now an active member at the Montreal General Hospital.
I am very pleased to see Dr. Robert É. Turcotte receive this recognition, and I hope our professional relationship will continue for a very long time.
