On Friday, August 13, Dr. Mark DeLegge left his full-time post as Director of the Digestive Disease Center at the Medical University of South Carolina to become a full-time partner in the growing activities at DeLegge Medical. Dr. Mark will remain on staff in a part-time clinical role at MUSC. This move will not only enhance the capabilities of DeLegge Medical to provide the very best in consulting, education and design services, but reinforces the dedication of Dr. Mark to the continued growth of our company!
In a letter to the MUSC community, Dr. Mark wrote:
"... After many discussions with myself, my family, my colleagues and my mentors, I made a decision to reach out further and to create a career path that 'stretched' my abilities. This decision incorporated my desire to increase my international medicine and business experience, foster new medical technology development and maintain my dedication to clinical experience and education in the area of nutrition and gastroenterology.
I am fortunate to be married to a bio-engineer with a long history of an established business in new medical device technology development, medical consulting and medical education. Through Becky, I learned a whole new world over the past few years and became very versatile in the mechanics of medical device development. DeLegge Medical has grown to be a recognized national leader in medical education, medical consulting and medical device development. I saw DeLegge Medical as an opportunity to have the time and tools to partner with MUSC and Clemson University to create a premier medical device company in Charleston.
At the same time, I was approached by Baxter Healthcare to serve as an international medical director with responsibility of assessing and assisting with operations of the implementation of new medical products and technologies in Europe, South America, Southeast Asia, Africa and Australia. Many of these products from Baxter are nutrition-based, and this fell right into my area of expertise. This was a tremendous opportunity to grow my international clinical experience and business skills.
Finally, I remain dedicated to MUSC, the Digestive Disease Center and the GI Division. This is especially true in the area of nutrition. With that, I will remain on as an MUSC Nutrition Medical Director and also work with Greg Buck, my trusted PA. Mark Payne has graciously also allowed me to continue working in the outpatient/inpatient GI Division on a part-time basis.
All in all, I see a tremendous opportunity to broaden my experience, increase my capabilities and partner with MUSC to make a mark in the areas of new technology development, international medicine and nutrition."
We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Mark into his newly expanded role at DeLegge Medical and are excited for what the future holds for our company. Feel free to contact Dr. Mark at his new e-mail address at DrMark@DeLeggeMedical.com.
