Background
Zbar has written extensively on applying outcome studies (known as metrics) to these trips. He is the first surgeon to document the objective impact these volunteer missions can have on the local medical environment.
Zbar is a graduate of Harvard University and the Yale University School of Medicine. He trained first in Otolaryngology at the University of Iowa from 1993-1997. During this time, he performed research in deafness that isolated specific genes. He was able to do this by investigating highly consanguinous families located in rural India. He then completed his plastic surgery training at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center under the direction of Rod Rohrich, MD from 1997-1999. He holds board certification in both Otolaryngology as well as Plastic Surgery.
Other academic work by Zbar includes landmark research in the vomeronasal organ. He has also written extensively on various reconstructive surgery techniques. Zbar presently serves as Medical Director of the Mountainside Hospital Wound Care Center.
