On Friday, Jun 15, 2012, UTMB hosted the symposium "Cutting Edge Debate: Pros, Cons and Contexts of Male Circumcision" from 2:00pm to 4:00pm at the Moody Gardens Hotel as part of their 61st Pediatrics by the Gulf annual Pediatric Review and Update.<ref name="UTMB"/>
A panel was supposed to engage in "multidimensional discussion" of the ethical questions raised by the practice of [[circumcision]], the wide array of varied views and circumcision and the supposed "social and cultural contexts that shape those views." The audience was invited to participate in discussion.<ref name="UTMB"/>
Panelists included
* [[Max Mintz]] who doubles as both a pediatrician and [[Mohel| ritual circumcisor ]] of Jewish children who has performed close to 10,000 circumcision according to his own estimations,
* [[Mike Malloy]], the professor of pediatrics who oversees the UTMB Pediatric Residency Training program in circumcision,
* [[Juliet McKee]], a UTMB assistant professor in Family Medicine, who, while no longer performing circumcisions, continues to provide "circumcision counseling," and
* [[Jason Glenn]], an assistant professor at UTMB’s Institute for the Medical Humanities and a historian of medicine.<ref name="UTMB"/>
