Retired Plastic Surgeon Joel Roskind MD Set to Instruct
Following a occupation in plastic surgery that spanned thirty years and stints in Miami and San Diego, plastic surgeon Dr. Joel Roskind has returned to New York, where he ran a clinic for many years, to instruct, consult and pursue his interest in Judaic Spirituality. He will also return to instructing at Boston University Medical School, where he instructed previously. He will also advise in the fields of practice management and facilities accreditation.
Joel Roskind MD, who operated a Long Island plastic surgery clinic specializing in body enhancements for over a decade, brings a wealth of clinical experience as well as academic get, and experience in the business of medicine. He is also intensely interested in the domain of practice management, which deals with hiring and training staff, setting up electronic systems and patient relations.
He has previously instructed at Boston University, the Nassau University Medical Center, North Shore University Hospital, University of California, San Diego and Cornell Medical School. He is also the former Voluntary Clinical Assistant Professor or Surgery at the University Of Miami School Of Medicine. He served in the U. S. Navy as part of a three-man plastic surgery team, and during that time traveled to Mexico to do surgery on deprived children with congenital deformities.
Dr. Joel Roskind has always taken a broader view of the medical area, and has played an active role in both regulatory and business affairs. As skyrocketing health care costs gave rise to ambulatory and outpatient clinics, Dr. Joel Roskind became interested in patient safety in these clinics, an interest that eventually led him to become an inspector for the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAASF).
Fulfilling the trust that patients put in their physicians has always been a top priority for Dr. Joel Roskind. He feels that he can continue to contribute to best practices and patient safety in a broader and more comprehensive way through his career as a instructor and consultant. When he is not teaching or consulting, Dr. Joel Roskind plans to pursue a personal interest in Judaic studies.
