A Symposium in Honor of Charles Frederick Frey, MD

Gerald W. Peskin, MD

Arch Surg. 1998;133:223-225.

On October 3, 1997, the University of California, Davis, under the leadership of James E. Goodnight, Jr, MD, chair of the Department of Surgery, gathered together 5 distinguished authorities in surgical pancreatic disease to present a symposium in honor of the retiring professor of 21 years, Charles F. Frey, MD. The atmosphere was one of informality and "give and take," and the result was not only a thorough and up-to-date review of many aspects of pancreatic disease but a wonderful tribute to a colleague who has spent a lifetime in this area of endeavor. Dr Frey has been a leader in this field, both scientifically in refining and extending our treatment of severe acute pancreatitis and administratively in organizing the Pancreas Club and promoting the concept that one could manage the pancreas, not in fear, but with confidence of success.

From the Department of Surgery, University of California, Davis–East Bay, Oakland.
