Dr. Adam Balogh (MD), Medical Advisor for the World Boxing Federation (WBF) and chief surgeon at the Helios Klinik in Huels, Germany, was recently appointed Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
At a ceremony on October 7 in Washington D.C., Dr. Balogh was among several physicians who became new members of the American College of Surgeons (ACS), a famed institution which celebrated its 100th anniversary this year.
In order to become a Fellow, it requires not just the recommendations of a certain number of existing members, but also the publishing of several scientific works.
“It is a huge honour for me to be admitted into this exclusive society of colleagues,” said the WBF Medical Advisor.
At the recent WBF World Convention in Germany, Dr. Balogh lectured in front of delegates from all over the world and was lauded for his efforts on behalf of professional boxing.
WBF President Howard Goldberg of South Africa congratulated Dr. Balogh on his achievements and stressed that “the World Boxing Federation appreciates to have a truly world class physician at the head of its medical department.”
