Here are a few notes from our Saint Louis University School of Medicine alumni.
Donald A Bentrovato, M.D., FACS, (Med ’73)
I'm pleased to report that I recently received an honor from the Medical Society of Schenectady, New York, at a celebration of being a physician for 50 years. In addition, my classmate, Dr. David Rockwell, also received his certificate of honor for our service to our community! I am fully retired from active clinical and surgical practice, but remain Clinical Associate Professor, Departments of Surgery and Urology, Albany Medical College and Center. I mentor both PreMed students from Union College and Albany Medical College, run shadowing clinical experiences for students, and am on the Admissions Committee, interviewing prospective students to the Medical College. A labor of love, and my attempt to "pay it forward" to help train the future healers of the future!
Mark J. Fesler, M.D., (Med ’03)
Dr. Mark J. Fesler has led the development of a bispecific immunotherapy program focused on advancing the treatment of blood cancer at St. Luke's Center for Cancer Care in Chesterfield, Missouri. The program offers this novel treatment as part of standard of care and in the context of clinical trials.
