Loggie received his undergraduate degree in pre-med from Loyola College in Montreal, Canada in 1974 and earned his medical degree in 1979 from McGill University, also in Montreal. His post-graduate training included an internship with the Department of Surgery at Montreal General Hospital in Montreal and a residency at the same hospital. He was also involved in Graduate Studies with the Department of Experimental Surgery at McGill University from 1982 to 1986.
In addition, Dr. Loggie was a research fellow at the University of Illinois in Chicago in the division of Surgical Oncology Department of Surgery. He also received a Specialist Certificate in General Surgery from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada in 1986.
Dr. Loggie lists his specialty and area of interest as surgical oncology, in particular the treatment and study of peritoneal carcinomatosis and malignant ascites, peritoneal mesothelioma, abdominopelvic and retroperitoneal sarcomas, pseudomyxoma peritonei, cutaneous malignant melanoma, sphincter preserving treatment for rectal tumors, and management of complex primary or recurrent solid tumors. His expertise in these areas has made him one of the top doctors to be considered for the treatment of rare peritoneal mesothelioma.
In the early 1990s, while at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, Dr. Loggie developed a cutting-edge cancer treatment that combined surgery with the application of heated chemotherapy drugs directly into the abdominal cavity. The heat makes the chemotherapy drug more effective in penetrating and killing off cancer cells. The procedure is now widely used to treat various kinds of cancer.
Dr. Loggie belongs to numerous medical societies and organizations including the Society of Surgical Oncology; the American College of Surgeons, Canadian Association of General Surgeons, the Association for Academic Surgery, the American Medical Association, the Cancer and Leukemia Group B(CALGB), American College of Surgeons, American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the International Society for Regional Cancer Therapy, Medical Research Council of Canada and many others.
