West Richland medical student receives surgery fellowship

Dr. David Panther, a former PNNL researcher, has been awarded a fellowship in micrographic surgery and dermatology oncology in Pittsburgh, Pa.

The surgery fellowship is with Dr. David Brodland, a Mohs surgery specialist trained by Dr. Frederic Mohs, who pioneered the technique in the late 1930s.

Dr. Panther finished first in his class as a dermatology resident at Loma Linda University Medical Center in California.

He is the son of Steve and Virginia Panther of West Richland.
