Peter D. Quinn, senior vice president for CPUP, UPHS, and vice dean for professional services at the Perelman School of Medicine, was recently honored with the creation of the Peter D. Quinn Lectureship Fund. The fund will be a catalyst to enhance all levels of training within the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery with a special emphasis on building on its strengths in the areas of digital technology, custom prostheses and regenerative medicine therapies. Proceeds from this Fund will be used to bring expert speakers to the department for an annual lecture in honor of Dr. Quinn.

Prior to his current appointments, Dr. Quinn served as chair of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, and at Penn’s School of Dental Medicine, for 22 years. He is the Schoenleber endowed Professor of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and is an internationally recognized expert in the field of temporomandibular joint surgery and surgical management of high-flow maxillofacial arterio-venous malformations. He pioneered the development of the only FDA-approved stock temporomandibular joint implant that is now the most widely used jaw joint replacement device both within the United States and internationally.
