After a thirty year stretch as a plastic surgeon, New York’s Dr. Joel Roskind now plans to provide his expertise to other doctors, both recognized and up-and-coming. Established doctors may profit from consulting with him in the regions of practice management and outpatient facility accreditation. On the clinical side, medical students at Boston University will have the chance to take Integrated Problems, a differential diagnosis class, from Joel Roskind.
Joel Roskind approaches medicine from a multidisciplinary and humanitarian perspective. Joel Roskind MD also served in the U. S. Navy as part of a three-man plastic surgery team, and during that time he traveled to Mexico to do surgery on deprived children with cleft lips and palates.
At Boston University he will instruct a differential diagnosis course titled Integrated Problems. Dr. Roskind has previously instructed at Boston University, as well as the University of California, San Diego, the Nassau University Medical Center, North Shore University Hospital, Cornell Medical School and the University Of Miami School Of Medicine.
Joel Roskind will also draw on his clinical experience to lecture Integrated Problems at Boston University. The course will cover complex problems in differential diagnosis, a subject with which he is intimately familiar. Dr. Roskind also brings a wealth of know how in practice management, which deals with business aspects of medicine, such as hiring and training staff, setting up electronic systems and patient relations.
Joel Roskind MD has always thought that because patients put so much trust in their doctors, doctors have a special obligation to make sure patients get the best possible care, and he has worked throughout his work to make sure they are protected by strict safety standards. He hopes to continue to contribute to the medical field in this domain as a lecturer. In what promises to be a very active retirement, Dr. Joel Roskind also plans to follow a personal interest in Judaic spirituality.
