James Kirklin (born 1947 in Rochester, Minnesota) [Jeremy Pearce, John W. Kirklin Is Dead at 86; Innovator in Cardiac Surgery 2004/04/30 NY Times][1] is an American cardiac surgeon who has made important scientific and surgical contributions in the fields of heart transplantation and mechanical circulatory support devices to assist the pumping action of the failing heart.[2] He is Professor and Director of the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery [3] and holds the John W. Kirklin Chair of Cardiovascular Surgery at the University of Alabama at Birmingham[4] (UAB). Kirklin and his colleagues at UAB pioneered the development of multi-institutional collaborative outcomes research in pediatric and adult heart transplantation and mechanical circulatory support. [5] [6] In 2007, he was the first surgeon to bridge an infant with failing single ventricular heart to successful heart transplantation with a longer term pediatric heart assist device called the Berlin Heart. [7] [8] In 2011, Kirklin was the first surgeon in North America to implant the HVAD continuous flow ventricular assist device in a pediatric patient.[9] This 9 year old girl was supported for 60 days and she then underwent successful cardiac transplantation.[10] Kirklin and his colleagues at UAB established the Cardiac Transplant Research Database in 1990, which generated the first multi-institutional collaborative research in heart transplantation, producing numerous seminal publications over a 20-year span.[11] In 1993, Kirklin and his UAB research group initiated the Pediatric Heart Transplant Study Group, which continues to lead the field in multi-intuitional studies.[12] Currently, Kirklin is Principal Investigator of the $15 million NIH-sponsored national Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (INTERMACS).[13] Kirklin is past president OF the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT).[14]

A prolific writer, Kirklin was the first author on the seminal textbook of Heart Transplantation[15] and co-authored the third edition of the premier textbook of heart surgery, call Cardiac Surgery.[16] [17] He served as Editor of the Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation from 2000-2009 [18],and he is Principal Editor of the ISHLT Monograph Series in which eight books to date have been published.[19] He has authored over 450 scientific publications. He is the son of the late heart surgery pioneer John W. Kirklin.[20]

advice
Now, please, adjust these references so they meet the requirements of WP:REFBEGIN--we need author, title, date of publication, journal or book name published in print if relevant, place available online if relevant. Google books is not an adequate source for books--use worldcat. There will still be some rewriting necessary, but if you'll fill in the refs, I will do it. Let me know when ready.

Are you James Kirklin? Whispyhistory (talk) 18:07, 8 February 2019 (UTC) No, I am not James Kirklin but he works in my area at UAB and I made the Wikipedia page several years ago because I thought it was interesting and helpful. I added the citation you requested and I am so thankful you added the other citation/refs, I ran out of time trying to remember how to add citations/refs last week. I don't think the permission I obtained for the image (headshot of Dr. Kirklin)is acceptable to Wikipedia. I have asked the person that sent me the permission email 01/2015 to find the copyright email Wikipedia sent to her and complete the requirements. If that isn't acceptable, I can take a picture of Dr. Kirklin myself on my iphone and add it. Sorry, I am an amateur Wikipedia editor trying to learn.

 * Hi... you can only get better. Let me know how to help. I've just done John W. Kirklin. Feel free to edit it if want and I'll check what you do. I'll have a closer look at James later. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:59, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Citations - not your name
Just a heads up: when citing sources, you're supposed to cite the author of the source, not put in your own name. Also, the date of publication ( field) of the source is generally different from the date on which you looked up the source (  field). I've fixed what I can, but some information is lost to the sands of time due to dead links, unless you can locate where those pages have gone, or find alternative sources. 2406:3003:2077:1E60:9A23:EE1E:1716:1917 (talk) 02:43, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
