In this episode: “Leadership in the Operating Room”
Dr. Ann Van Heest is a national leader in congenital hand surgery, and currently serves as the Vice Chair of Education at the University of Minnesota. Some key lessons from her presentation include:
– Maximizing surgical results requires us to compartmentalize the many distractions and challenges in other areas of our lives.
– Be aware of how you mentally and emotionally “arrive” to the OR.
– Think about how external events (such as work or family crises) and internal events (such as burnout) may impact your unprofessional behavior in the OR.
– Surgeons are the leaders of the OR team and should strive to lead by example.
