As part of that celebration the Division held a two-day symposium, “GI and Hepatology at the University of Michigan: Past, Present and Future of Innovation, Clinical Practice and Leadership.” Faculty, fellows, alumni, U-M leadership and friends of the Division were invited to attend. The Thursday program, moderated by Drs. Chung Owyang and William D. Chey, included Dr. John Carethers, followed by leaders in gastroenterology and hepatology from across the nation, including Drs. Tachi Yamada, Rick Boland and David Lieberman. Distinguished alumni speakers included Drs. Ezra Burstein, Joseph Elmunzer, Michael Kochman, Uri Ladabaum, John Inadomi and Michael Lucey. The Friday program, moderated by Dr. Juanita Merchant, showcased the achievements of some of our own U-M faculty, including Drs. Anna Lok, Liz Speliotes, John Allen, John Wiley, Peter Higgins, William Chey, Hari Conjeevaram, Thomas Wang, Jason Spence and Nobu Kamada. Mary Petrovich, a philanthropist and friend of the Division, was also on hand to give her personal reflection on patient care and the future of innovation. On Friday, Medicine Grand Rounds was presented by a special guest, Dr. Daniel K. Podolsky, President of UT Southwestern Medical Center. The Symposium was followed by a dinner at the beautiful University of Michigan Museum of Art. After a reception, which showcased a five-panel work of art by Bill Burgard that was commissioned for the event, Chung Owyang welcomed guests and introduced Dr. Joel Howell who led guests along an interesting journey of the history of the University and the Division. A video produced just for the occasion was shown, after which Dr. Chey introduced remarks by Drs. James Woolliscroft, Tachi Yamada and Daniel Podolsky. The final toast of the night was given by John Carethers who announced the establishment of the Chung Owyang, MD, Professorship in Gastroenterology and Hepatology. This endowed chair is intended to support future chiefs of the U-M Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology and will ensure that Dr. Owyang’s legacy of dedication will live on at the University of Michigan in perpetuity. The history of the Division, from the modest beginning in the 1940s, to the tailgate and football game attended by guests of the 75th Anniversary Celebration, has been artfully captured in a 184-page book, “Honoring the Past, Shaping the Future: 75 Years of Discovery, Innovation and Care”. 2 The GI Digest Spring 2017 DDW 2017 Awards and Recognition We are proud to announce the following award recipient from the University of Michigan Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology who will be recognized at DDW 2017.
