Bernard Maillet, MD

Bernard Maillet was schooled at Antwerp University as an MD and received his postgraduate training in Surgical Pathology at the Academic Hospital of the Free University of Brussels (VUB). During his training, his research topic was the pathology of the gastro-enterologic tract and more precisely the pancreas. This resulted in many publications as co-author and communications with his mentor, Prof. Dr. Günter Klöppel in pancreas carcinoma and chronic pancreatitis. Soon he was involved in the Professional Organization of Pathology in Belgium, first as a member of the Board and then as one of the  Secretaries.

This lead to his involvement in the Belgian Medical Specialist Organization GBS-VBS, first as a delegate for the  Pathologists in the General Assembly, then as a Deputy Secretary-General, and now he is the Treasurer of the VBSGBS.

In 2002, the VBS-GBS proposed Dr. Bernard Maillet as candidate Secretary-General for the UEMS.
