Summary
- I am a board certified cardiothoracic surgeon specializing in pediatric and Congenital heart disease. I have devoted my career to assisting in the development of pediatric cardiac services in Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC). In 1999 an Endowed Professorship, the Paul Nemir, Jr., M.D. was created at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. The Professorship was funded specifically to allow me to pursue assisting LMIC full-time. I founded 2 501c3 organizations to fund teams of pediatric cardiac specialists to travel to LMIC to provide clinical services, education, experience and training in pediatric heart disease. Our first team trip was to Croatia in April, 1993. Since then we have made over 500 trips to 60 institutions in 34 countries operating on over 10,000 children and training hundreds of surgeons, anesthesiologists, perfusionists, intensivists and nurses in the care of children with heart disease. Programs which we have assisted over the years now provide 10,000 operations annually.
