    S02E03: Measuring What Matters with Dr. Carla Pugh

    In this enlightening episode of The Intentional Surgeon Podcast, we welcome Dr. Carla Pugh. Dr. Pugh's research in technology-driven training has made it clear that we are not measuring what matters most... we are not measuring the outcomes of surgery that matter. Why? Because we don't have the ability to do so safely. "No one wants a bronze medalist surgeon - we all want the gold medal surgeon. So what ability does a surgeon have to improve if they are not the best." Until we bravely move forward and insist that we need data that truly measures quality outcomes, we won't have the information we need to improve our craft. You can't run an Olympics, or baseball without metrics, so why shouldn't we have metrics that matter for surgical outcomes? She also explains that our human capital - the people we recruit to surgery is one of our most precious resources. Join us as we explore how Dr. Pugh is reshaping the landscape of surgical education, surgical metrics, and the future of competency-based training in the medical field. Dr. Pugh is a Professor of Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine and Director of the Technology Enabled Clinical Improvement (T.E.C.I.) Center. Dr. Pugh is a trailblazer in the field of surgical education, leveraging advanced technology to assess and enhance clinical procedural skills. Her prestigious accolades include the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, awarded to her by President Barack Obama in 2011, and her TEDMED talk on technology-driven medical training.

    S02Eo2: Special Like Everyone Else with Dr. Sharona Ross

    In this episode of The Intentional Surgeon, Dr. Sharon L. Stein sits down with the esteemed Dr. Ross, a board-certified advanced Foregut and HPB surgeon with nearly two decades of expertise in robotic and single-incision laparoscopic surgeries. Dr. Ross has performed groundbreaking work in minimally invasive operations for conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, pancreas, and liver, and is dedicated to training the next generation of surgeons through her leadership at the Digestive Institute at AdventHealth Tampa. Dr. Ross's journey from serving in the Israeli Defense Forces to becoming a trailblazer in her field exemplifies determination and excellence. She talks a lot about being a woman in surgery unapologetically. From encouraging women in the pipeline to daring to own “aggressive”, to wearing feminine colorful clothing. Sharona challenges the premise that you need to fit in as a woman in surgery and encourages us to stand out as a woman in surgery. The episode also highlights the 15th Annual International Women in Surgery Symposium, taking place February 7–9 in Tampa, Florida. This premier event celebrates and empowers women surgeons worldwide, fostering collaboration and innovation in surgical practice. Register here! Tune in to explore Dr. Ross's inspiring career and gain a preview of the upcoming symposium, where leaders in surgery will gather to shape the future of medicine.

    S02E01: Planetary Health with Dr. Husein Moloo

    In this episode of The Intentional Surgeon, host Sharon L. Stein welcomes Dr. Husein Moloo, Director of Planetary Health and Professor of Surgery at the University of Ottawa. Climate change is one of the biggest concerns for people around the globe, and surgery creates a huge amount of waste. In this episode, Dr. Moloo delves into the ways that we can change our eco-anxiety into eco-action - including simple measures that you can implement right now in your hospital and practice. Almost 50% of hospital waste comes from the perioperative period - as demonstrated in this dramatic video by Maria Koijck, where she photographed all the disposable garbage generated form her own mastectomy. Tune in as they explore how environmental sustainability impacts healthcare and what it means for surgeons navigating the challenges of a changing planet.

A native of Fort Worth Texas she did her medical training in New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, before heading back to Texas to start practice in the middle of the pandemic.
