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. Her keen insight shows that perhaps we need to do a better job as professors and teachers and that a course to educate the educators can be beneficial. If you are having trouble with the tough learning curve of ophthalmic surgery, I implore you to listen to this podcast carefully.
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. We cover a range of topics and come up with our best ideas for becoming a better surgeon, committing to life-long surgical learning, and benefitting from coaching whether from another surgeon or from self-coaching.

Dr Tom Oetting is a celebrated cataract surgery teacher and he has really pioneered much of the online learning in that regard. He has helped to create EyeRounds.org which is a tremendous learning resource for ophthalmologists around the globe.

And he is a large part of the reason why the University of Iowa is consistently ranked as one of the best ophthalmology residencies in the USA.
We talked about so many great topics in this podcast including the best way to learn cataract surgery, how to approach patients about having a resident do their procedure (under supervision), the future of ophthalmology, and so much more. We had so much fun and it was so engaging that we lost track of time and ended up going for almost 2 hours. This is a podcast that you want to download and listen to while you're commuting to work or exercising.
