It has already been four years since Armenian Professor of Surgery and Oncology Sarkis Meterissian, who lives and works in Canada, has joined the list of Adjunct Professors at YSMU.

Sarkis Meterissian is a Professor at the Department of Surgery in the Faculty of Medicine, McGill University, and works at the Department of Surgery, Division of Adult General Surgery, MUHC. He has been to Armenia twice but hopes to visit again very soon.

We talked to a leading Armenian specialist about the attractiveness of the medical profession, its challenges and advantages, his unfulfilled dreams, the hobbies, as well as the important features for a doctor. 

– Professor, let us start with your decision to become a doctor and a researcher. How did it happen? Was that your dream?

– Since high school, I have always been interested in biology and the human body. In college, I realized that I wanted to go into dentistry.  Ironically, a summer job in an Armenian dentist’s office made me question my career orientation. In my final year of college, I decided to apply to medicine and was accepted on my first try, much to my surprise as the process is very competitive. Once in medical school I was fascinated with anatomy and, during my clerkship, surgery interested me greatly. I was excited to go to the operating room and the idea of curing disease with a scalpel captured my attention.  Finally, I opted for a career in surgical oncology as I saw it as an opportunity to perform surgery as well as cutting-edge research. Presently I am a busy surgeon as well as a clinician scientist, and I love it immensely. 

– What kind of challenges can you mention in the medical profession?

– The two biggest challenges in the medical profession are time and resources. I wish there was more time in the day to perform research, write grants, give lectures and see patients. It is
