Madam President (The Unicorn) - Part 2 Out of the Blindspot

In the last episode we began a conversation with Dr. Jane Edmond, a unicorn of sorts with unique life experiences and achievements at the crossroads of neuro-ophthalmology and leadership that set her apart. These include being a super specialized pediatric neuro-ophthalmologist and the inaugural and current chair of the Mitchell and Shannon Wong Eye Institute at UT Austin’s Dell Medical school and  the president elect of the American Academy of ophthalmology to begin her tenure in January 2024. We learned about her pathway to leadership, and some great ideas about how to use her platform as the next president of AAO to support her passions for the cognitive specialties of ophthalmology and to address health disparities and inequities in ophthalmology.

In this of episode we focus more on Dr. Edmond’s leadership experiences. What motivates her as a leader, her style of leadership that sets her apart, and her advice for the next generation of ophthalmologists.
