Professional History
John G. Meara, MD, DMD, MBA is the Chair of the Medical Staff Executive Committee and Plastic Surgeon-in-Chief at Boston Children's Hospital. He is the Founder and Emeritus Director of the Program in Global Surgery and Social Change in the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine and Professor of Surgery in the Department of Surgery at Harvard Medical School. He was Co-Chair of the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery, commissioner on the Lancet Global Health Commission on High-Quality Health Systems in the SDG Era, the Lancet Oncology Commission and the Lancet Commission on Diagnostics. In 2008, he created the Paul Farmer Global Surgery Fellowship program at Harvard Medical School. He is also interested in value-based health care and implementation science research, including time driven activity based cost research and outcomes research. Dr. Meara also led the Cleft ICHOM project, which focused on reporting outcomes and international benchmarking.
Approach to Care
I enjoy working with children - they are full of potential and hope. Craniofacial reconstruction repairs congenital and traumatic conditions and restores children and their families with new hope and a better future. Helping children and their families is wonderful in its own right; in addition, the procedures and techniques are also challenging and rewarding. Craniofacial surgery is certainly based on science and technology, but there is an artistic component as well. Patients all have different and complex conditions that require a flexible, problems solving mindset - there is no standard formula. As a result our team is constantly creating and innovating new and better ways to restore and reconstruct and redefine problems and solutions. This requires a multidisciplinary approach - calling on the best from all caregivers in our team.
