Edward Bove

Edward Bove, born in 1947, is an American pediatric cardiac surgeon. He is a professor emeritus of cardiac surgery and a professor emeritus of pediatrics at the University of Michigan Medical School, and he has worked in the University of Michigan Health System for most of his career. His work sits where two specialties meet: the surgical repair of the heart and the care of children, whose hearts are often affected by conditions present from birth. As a clinician and teacher joining the two departments of cardiac surgery and pediatrics in a single academic career, he is an example of the modern specialist surgeon who is both an operator and a university faculty member. The record here is limited to what the reference article on him states, and it does not attribute particular operations or discoveries to him.
