The Medical Board of California special faculty permit review committee recommended approval of a special faculty permit for Dr. Alexander Deloche to join Cedars‑Sinai Medical Center, the committee reported when it returned to open session.
Dr. (speaker recorded as) Gortz presented Deloche’s application under California Business and Professions Code section 2168.1, describing an academic and clinical background focused on vascularized composite allotransplantation. The presenter said Deloche earned his MD at the University of Paris in 2012, completed surgical residencies including plastic surgery, obtained a PhD, and worked in research fellowships with international leaders in composite allografts.
The presenter told the committee that Deloche participated in high-profile procedures in Paris, including work on a penile transplant and a facial retransplantation, and has an extensive publication record (67 papers cited during the presentation and additional publications in one year). The presentation emphasized Deloche’s focus on functionality after transplant, immunosuppression and organ perfusion techniques prior to transplantation.
No public comments were recorded on the presentation. The committee deliberated in closed session; upon return to open session, chair Jim Helser reported that the committee recommends approval of Deloche’s special faculty permit application. Helser said both recommendations will be forwarded to the full Medical Board of California for consideration at its May meeting.
The transcript records the committee recommendation; no final board action was taken at the special-committee meeting.
