35th ANNUAL
E.A. ROVENSTINE MEMORIAL LECTURE

This annual Memorial Lecture series is dedicated to honor the illustrious career of Dr. Emery Andrew Rovenstine, who was Director of Anesthesiology Service from 1935 to 1960 at what he proudly referred to as "My Bellevue," which in his time was a charity hospital. He was also Professor of Surgery (Anesthesia) at The New York University School of Medicine. Dr. Rovenstine was a loved and eminent clinician and teacher, who played a major role in the development of academic anesthesia in the United States. In his lifetime many great honors were bestowed upon him. He served as President of The American Society of Anesthesiologists in 1943/44, and in 1957 received that Society's Distinguished Service Award. Dr. Rovenstine was the founder of the PostGraduate Assembly in Anesthesiology. A scholarly man who helped to develop many drugs, techniques and machines to ease pain, Dr. Rovenstine devoted himself to training other physicians in his specialty. He was considered in his time to be the most knowledgeable anesthesiologist in the world.
