Upcoming Meetings:

March 26^th, 2026

The next meeting of the SAMHS will be held on Thursday, 26^th of March at the Dulwich Community Centre, 14 Union St, Dulwich at 6:00 pm.

We are delighted to welcome Dr Glen Benveniste this month, who will be presenting on "Alexis Carrel: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly".

Dr Benveniste is a recently retired vascular surgeon whose career spans more than four decades of clinical practice, research and professional leadership. A graduate of the University of Adelaide (1975), he completed surgical training in Adelaide and undertook research at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, earning an MS. In 1985 he was awarded a British Council Fellowship to study stroke-prevention surgery in Bristol. He later served as Senior Visiting Vascular Surgeon at QEH/CALHN (1988–2018), contributed extensively to the South Australian Committee of RACS (receiving the RACS Medal in 2003), and has published widely while mentoring generations of surgical trainees.

His talk promises to be an engaging exploration of one of medicine's more complex historical figures.
