April 13, 2015The Jefferson Debating Society concluded its Spring 2015 Distinguished Speaker Series Friday afternoon with a presentation from Dr. Dilan Ellegala — a neurosurgeon and founder of the Madaktari Africa Project called “Brain Surgery in the Bush.” Ellegala completed his residency in neurosurgery at the University Medical Center, under the supervision of Dr. John Jane, who was chair of the neurosurgery department from 1969 until 2006. According to Ellegala, Jane completely altered the way neurosurgery residencies were done.
