Thomas F. O'Donnell, Jr., MD

Benjamin Andrews Emeritus Professor and Chair of Surgery
Tufts University School of Medicine
Wellesley, Massachusetts, United States

Thomas F. O’Donnell Jr. M.D. is the Senior Vascular Surgeon at Tufts Medical Center and the Benjamin Andrews Emeritus Professor and Chair of Surgery at Tufts University School of Medicine (TUSM). A 1963 graduate of Harvard College and a 1967 Cum Laude graduate of TUSM. While serving as Chairman of the Department of Surgery at Tufts Medical Center and TUSM, he was asked by the trustees of Tufts Medical Center to serve as the CEO and President of that institution, a position he held for nearly a decade through 2004 while he practiced vascular surgery part time. He then returned to the full-time practice of vascular surgery and clinical research.
His current particular areas of research have been chronic venous insufficiency and lymphedema, which were stimulated by his year of postgraduate work at St. Thomas’s Hospital in London during 1974-1975 with the late Professors John Kinmonth and Sir Norman Browse. This June he will complete his 46th year on the faculty of TUSM, where he has taught generations of medical students and has served on various medical school committees as well as the Board of Overseers of TUSM and the Sackler School from 2003-2007.
He recently co-edited The Clinical practice guidelines of the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) and the American Venous Forum (AVF): Management of venous leg ulcers. The majority of his 192 articles in peer-reviewed journals, 67 Book chapters, and 15 videos/ films on techniques deal with vascular disease. He continues to be a regular lecturer for educational programs at national/international and regional vascular society meetings as well as named lectureships. O’Donnell has served as the President of the Society for Vascular Surgery, the American Venous Forum, the New England Society for Vascular Surgery, the Eastern Vascular Society, and the Boston Surgical Society.
