ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN SECTION OF PLASTIC SURGERYThe Section of Plastic Surgery at the University of Michigan was established in 1964 through the integration of a University-sanctioned Ann Arbor-based plastic surgery training program at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital. Reed O. Dingman, DDS MD, had established a certified plastic surgery training program which began as a preceptorship in 1952 and gained accreditation as a plastic surgery training program in June of 1957. The program integration was achieved through the efforts of Dr. Dingman and then Department Chairman, C. Gardner Child, with Dr. Dingman appointed Head of the Section of Plastic Surgery in 1964. Following Dr. Dingman’s retirement in 1974, William C. Grabb, a trainee of Dr. Dingman and a member of the faculty of the Department of Surgery since 1961, agreed to succeed Dr. Dingman as the Section Head and to establish a full-time training and research faculty. The training program was expanded, a University based research effort was established and both reached national prominence prior to Dr. Grabb’s death in 1982. Interim faculty leadership continued until the appointment of David J. Smith as the Section Head in 1987. Dr. William Kuzon continued the tradition of outstanding leadership as section head from 2002 to 2012. Appointed in 2012, Dr. Paul Cederna is now leading University of Michigan Plastic Surgery to reach new levels of research, education and patient care. Reed O.
