Dr. James Douketis has been awarded the David Braley and Nancy Gordon Chair in Thromboembolic Disease. This endowed Chair, previously held by Dr. Jeff Ginsberg, reflects Dr. Douketis’ 27-year career as one of the leading experts in Thromboembolism, with a focus on peri-operative anticoagulant use. Over his career, Dr. Douketis has published many of the papers that today are used to guide peri-operative care of patients who are receiving anticoagulants – a clinical area that prior to Dr. Douketis’ work was largely guided by anecdotal evidence and “expert opinion”.
