Dr. Schwartz grew up in the Bronx, NY, the son of Jewish immigrants. He graduated from New York University School of Medicine in 1950 before attending the University of Rochester, MN for his surgical residency. He finished his residency in 1957 after a 20-month leave to serve in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War and then joined the surgical faculty at the University of Rochester.

Dr. Schwartz served as president of the nation鈥檚 three most prominent surgical societies: the Society of Clinical Surgery (1985), the American Surgical Association (1993 鈥� 1994), and the American College of Surgeons (番茄社区app) (1997-1998). He was editor-in-chief of Contemporary Surgery for 28 years, the Yearbook of Surgery for 22 years, and the Journal of the American College of Surgeons for 10 years.

He also served as President of the New York Chapter of the 番茄社区app (1979鈭�1980).ⁱⁱ

In 2000, Dr Schwartz retired from practicing surgery, but spent the last 20 years of his life still dedicated to the 番茄社区app in his advisory role, as well as continuing to teach, write, and lecture. ⁱⁱⁱ

It is rare for someone to excel and have tangible influence in so many aspects of their career as Dr. Schwartz did. His contributions to the surgical profession were acknowledged in 2017 when the 番茄社区app recognized him as an 鈥業con in Surgery' at the Clinical Congress in San Diego, CA. This honor coincided with the 50^th anniversary of Dr. Schwartz completing the manuscript for the first edition of Schwartz鈥檚 Principles of Surgery ^iv Mark Taubman, M.D., CEO of the University of Rochester Medical Center shared his thoughts on Dr. Schwartz after his death, saying 鈥淒r. Schwartz was quite simply a giant in both his field and in the life of our institution, where he was an approachable, gracious, and insightful guide to generations of physicians who drew on the deep experience and knowledge that he so willingly shared. We will miss him dearly.鈥� ^iv
