This presentation looks into the field of surgery in the medical schools of Baghdad and Beirut as comparative transnational microcosms for the study of the development of pedagogical approaches of surgical education. Pointedly, this presentation focuses on Dr. Michael Elias Debakey’s centrality in this internationalization processes. In the aftermath of World War Two, Debakey was vernacularized in surgical canon. Medical students in the Middle East studied Debakey’s techniques and the intricacies of his inventions while instructors employed his pedagogies.
