On November 15, friends and colleagues gathered at the BU Castle to bid farewell to Director of the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Residency Training Program\/Advanced Specialty Education Program in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery at BMC and GSDM Dr. David Cottrell. Dr. Cottrell is leaving GSDM to pursue other career opportunities effective December 31.<\/p>\n

Dr. Cottrell joined the GSDM faculty in 1993, as Assistant Professor and Director of Resident Research. From 1997 to 2007, he served as Director, Advanced Specialty Education Program in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and from 2007to 2010, as Chair of the Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and Associate Dean for Hospital Affairs. In April 2010, he stepped down as Chair, and took on his current role.<\/p>\n

Said Dean Jeffrey W. Hutter, “Dr. Cottrell’s hard work and dedication has had a significant and positive influence on the quality of our Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and the strong relationship we maintain with Boston Medical Center.”<\/p>\n

The sentiment was the same among all of the assembled guests at the farewell party: Dr. Cottrell will be missed. <\/p>\n

And Dr. Cottrell will miss them as well. He said, “I would like to thank the entire BU ‘family’ for many wonderful years of support. It has truly been a pleasure to spend nineteen years working in such an exciting and stimulating environment. I leave behind many colleagues that will remain life-long friends. If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t change a thing.”<\/p>\n
