Discover more about The King/Hancock Journal.
Named for two leaders who laid the cornerstone of the orthopedic surgery residency at Georgia Baptist Medical Center (now Wellstar Atlanta Medical Center), the King/Hancock Journal has published noteworthy findings from faculty, residents and other orthopedic specialists since 1996.
Richard E. King, MD, was the original chairman of the residency program and served in that capacity until 1994. He was a prominent member of the orthopedic community, contributing as a co-editor for Fractures in Children.
Charles I. Hancock, MD, was one of the first residents of the hospital’s program. He served as a member of the faculty and staff for many years and retired as Vice President of Medical Affairs from the Georgia Baptist Medical Center.
Both Drs. King and Hancock became distinguished members of the orthopedic surgery residency program, and it is for them the residents originally named their research publication.
