Congratulations to one of VGH’s own!

Dr. Morad Hameed, Section Head for Trauma and Emergency General Surgery at VGH, is the new president of the Canadian Association of General Surgeons.

A trauma surgeon and intensivist, Dr. Hameed’s research focuses on systems of trauma care and acute care surgery, including electronic injury surveillance. His research teams have received grants from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research, Grand Challenges Canada and other funding agencies for their work on disparities in injury risk and access to trauma systems. The development of partnerships with trauma investigators at the University of Cape Town and the University of Pittsburgh has recently extended this work to South Africa and Latin America.
