The David B. Kaner Memorial Lectureship

This lectureship was established at Dartmouth Medical School in 1974 in memory of David B. Kaner, MD, by his loving family and friends. The David B. Kaner Memorial Lecture Fund brings distinguished guest lecturers in the fields of surgery and oncology to the Medical School each year, thereby expanding the body of knowledge of students, faculty, and the community at large.

David B. Kaner (1944-1974) graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan, received his MD degree from Wayne State Medical School, and began a surgical internship in 1972 at Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital.

In October 1973, David was diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia, which he valiantly fought for the next ten months. During this period, he was accepted into the Ophthalmologic Residency Program at the Mayo Clinic, where he planned to begin working after completing his surgical training.

However, after an all-too-short remission, David died in August of 1974. By all standards, David's life of thirty years was a tragically short one and yet he lived each day to the fullest. His gentle manner, concern for others, and commitment to his profession were felt by all whose lives he touched. Dartmouth Medical School is honored to have this Memorial Lectureship in tribute to his memory.
