Most recently, he was the Richard Bennett Darnall Professor of Surgery there.
Udelsman furthered his academic training by earning an M.S.B. and an M.B.A. at Johns Hopkins University in 1999 and 2000, respectively. He has also completed fellowships in surgical oncology at the National Cancer Institute, in endocrinology at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, and in gastrointestinal surgery at the Johns Hopkins Hospital.
The Yale surgeon has received numerous honors for his research, teaching and clinical care. These include the George D. Zuidema Research Award, the Lilly Clinician Scientist Award, the George H. A. Clowes Jr. M.D., F.A.C.S. Memorial Research Career Development Award of the American College of Surgeons and the Edward H. Storer Award for Excellence in Surgical Teaching.
