 nesota in the 1960s working in the Immunology Laboratory of Dr. Robert A. 
 Good. After completing his medical degree\, Dr. Sutherland served two year
 s in the Army\, a period that helped shape his strong sense of discipline\
 , multitasking\, and leadership. He became a surgical fellow and trainee o
 f Dr. John S. Najarian\, eventually serving as faculty within the Division
  of Transplantation beginning in 1976. During that time\, he was the Chief
  of the Division of Transplantation from 1995-2009 and Directed the Schulz
 e Diabetes Institute from\nDr. Sutherland\n1994-2013. He is remembered as 
 the father of pancreas transplant and a pioneer in islet transplant\, as i
 t is practiced today.\n\nDr. Sutherland led the University of Minnesota&rs
 quo\;s pancreas transplant program&mdash\;one of the world&rsquo\;s most p
 rolific&mdash\;and achieved several historic firsts\, including the world&
 rsquo\;s first clinical islet transplant (1974)\, total pancreatectomy wit
 h islet auto-transplant (1977)\, and living-donor partial pancreas transpl
 ant (1979). He founded the International Pancreas Transplant Registry in 1
 980 and served as the President of the American Society of Transplant Surg
 eons (1990)\; of the Cell Transplantation Society (1994)\; of the Internat
 ional Pancreas and Islet Transplant Association (1995)\; and of The Transp
 lantation Society (2002).\n\nCrowning his distinguished career\, he receiv
 ed the prestigious Medawar Prize in 2012 followed by the ASA Medallion for
  Scientific Achievement in 2016. Equally\, if not more importantly\, David
  Sutherland was a compassionate physician who shared deeply in his patient
 s' struggles and triumphs. He performed thousands of transplants that free
 d many from insulin and dialysis for life. A humble and widely respected s
 urgeon\, he was a beloved mentor who trained transplant surgeons across th
 e globe. He shaped future leaders in the field of pancreas and islet trans
 plantation through his humanity\, visionary spirit\, and groundbreaking wo
 rk\, all while remaining deeply rooted in Minnesota and devoted to his per
 sonal passions. His legacy of innovation and compassion continues through 
 the Sutherland-Butterfield Professorship\, currently held by Dr. Raja Kand
 aswamy.
