White, Orthopaedic Surgeon-in-Chief at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston for thirteen years, Ellen and Melvin Gordon Distinguished Professor of Medical Education, Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Harvard Medical School (HMS) and Professor Emeritus of the Harvard/MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology.
