Former Surgeon Joel Roskind to Instruct on Business of Medicine
March 3rd, 2010Although retired from his career as a plastic surgeon, Dr. Joel Roskind remains current in the medical domain. In addition to lecturing a case management course at Boston University Medical School, Joel Roskind will also be providing his services as a advisor in the areas of practice management and facility accreditation.
Joel Roskind MD draws on a wealth of expertise that includes running a large, successful practice; functioning as an inspector for the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAASF); instructing at half a dozen medical schools and serving on a three-man plastic surgery team in the United States Navy.
He has previously taught at Boston University, the Nassau University Medical Center, North Shore University Hospital, University of California, San Diego and Cornell Medical School. He is also the former Voluntary Clinical Assistant Professor or Surgery at the University Of Miami School Of Medicine. He served in the U. S. Navy as part of a three-man plastic surgery team, and during that time traveled to Mexico to do surgery on disadvantaged children with congenital deformities.
Dr. Joel Roskind has always taken a broader view of the medical area, and has played an active role in both regulatory and business affairs. As skyrocketing health care costs gave rise to ambulatory and outpatient clinics, Dr. Joel Roskind became interested in patient safety in these clinics, an interest that subsequently led him to become an inspector for the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAASF).
Making sure patients get the best possible care in the safest possible environment has been a priority for Joel Roskind throughout his medical vocation. Although he is retired from active practice, Dr. Joel Roskind is looking forward to continuing to contribute to the medical area. In addition to teaching and consulting, Joel Roskind MD also plans to pursue a long time personal interest in Judaic spirituality.
