5: CataractCoach PodCast 5: Surgical Learning & Coaching

About six weeks ago I posted a video discussing the question, "Should you give up operating?" because it is asked to me just about every week by young surgeons from around the world. It is a complex question and a very serious topic and it generated a tremendous amount of interest. It also raised even more questions about the best methods of surgical learning and the role of coaching in improving surgical performance. I interviewed two surgeons with expertise in this area for this podcast. Dr Anuradha Khanna is professor and vice chair of education at Loyola University in Chicago where she has been leading resident, fellow, and medical student education for many years. The second half of the podcast is a great discussion with Dr Sara Bozorg who is a lifelong athlete who brings those ideas of coaching to learning ocular surgery.
