Dr. Rotstein attended the University of Toronto for both undergraduate education and medical school, and following a straight surgical internship at the Toronto General Hospital, he completed training in General Surgery in the Gallie Program. During his residency program he had his first exposure to research, completing his Master of Science Degree in the general area of gallstone physiology under the mentorship of Dr. Steven M. Strasberg. He completed his surgical residency in 1982 and six months later moved to the University of Minnesota to do a two and a half year research fellowship supported by the Medical Research Council of Canada in the general area of critical care/surgical infections in the laboratories of Dr. Richard L. Simmons. In this fertile research environment, he gained an appreciation of the critical role of research training and mentorship in ensuring the success of Academic Surgeons. This has proven to be a theme that he has carried throughout his career.
Dr. Rotstein took his first faculty appointment in 1985 with Dr. Bernard Langer at the University of Toronto. As a junior faculty member he quickly established himself as a role model among Academic Surgeons. He not only proved to be an outstanding clinician specializing in general surgery and complex problems related to infection and inflammation in his field, but developed international recognition for his research activities in the area of trauma, infection, and critical care. He and his students have published over 200 papers in prestigious journals and books, and have contributed significantly to the care of critically ill patients through their research findings. Dr. Rotstein’s research group has been continuously funded by The Medical Research Council of Canada/Canadian Institute of Health Research since 1985, as well as other national and international funding agencies. He also takes great pride in his contributions to resident training in fundamental research. Since his appointment
