The Mark W. Allam Lecture, presented at the ACVS Surgery Summit, is named for the Dean Emeritus of the School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, and co-founder of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons, Mark Whittier Allam. Dr. Allam was an avid proponent of the concept of "one medicine” - the idea that the similarities between human and animal medicine are great and that these two fields can benefit considerably from the discoveries made in each field.
