Barbara Baur Dunlap Professor and Chair, Department of Surgery
University of Maryland School of Medicine
Stephen T. Bartlett, M.D., a nationally-recognized transplant surgeon, is Chairman of Surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and Chief of Surgery at the University of Maryland Medical Center.
Dr. Bartlett, who is also the Barbara Baur Dunlap Professor of Surgery, came to Baltimore in 1991 from the University of California at Davis to lead the University of Maryland’s Division of Transplantation. Within only five years, he had developed the medical center’s kidney and pancreas transplant program into one of the largest and most successful programs in the United States, known for excellent patient care, innovation and community outreach. By the mid-1990’s, Dr. Bartlett had also performed Maryland’s first simultaneous pancreas/kidney transplant and its first successful pancreas-alone transplant.
Working with colleagues in general surgery, Dr. Bartlett was also a leader in the development of the laparoscopic, or minimally invasive technique for removing a kidney from a living kidney donor, which opened the door for many patients with kidney failure to identify a living donor.
Dr. Bartlett, who is board certified in General Surgery and Vascular Surgery, received his bachelor’s degree from Johns Hopkins University and his medical degree from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. He received residency training in general surgery at the University of Pennsylvania and did a vascular surgery fellowship at Northwestern University.
Dr. Bartlett leads a wide variety of large basic and clinical research projects, including islet cell transplantation and kidney transplantation in HIV+ patients.
