Dr. Sam Money joins us to discuss the importance of ergonomics in vascular surgery. Dr. Money completed his surgical residency at SUNY Downstate and trained in vascular surgery at the Ochsner clinic in New Orleans. He remained at Ochsner Clinic for 15 years where he rose through the ranks to be Division Head of Vascular Surgery. He then moved to the Mayo Clinic in Arizona where he served as professor and Chairman of the Department of Surgery. Currently, he serves as chair of Surgery and associate medical director for surgery at Ochsner Medical institutions. He has served in numerous leadership positions including presidency of the society for clinical vascular surgery, the southern association of vascular surgery and the vascular and endovascular society.

Dr. Stephan Haulon is Professor of Vascular Surgery, and Chair of Aortic and Vascular Surgery at the Hospital Marie Lannelongue, Groupe Hospitalier Paris Saint Joseph, Université Paris Saclay. He serves as the current president of the European Society for Vascular Surgery. He completed his general surgical and vascular training at the University of Lille in France and then went on to do a Vascular Surgery Research Fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic under the mentorship of aortic pioneer Dr. Roy Greenberg and funded by a Marco Polo Grant from the ESVS and SVS. Throughout his career he has worked closely with colleagues in Cardiac Surgery, Interventional Radiology, and Vascular Medicine and is a strong proponent of international and interdisciplinary collaboration. 

Dr. Robert Rhee is a returning guest to the podcast. He is a Clinical Professor of Surgery at SUNY Downstate Medical College and the Director of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn. He is the President-Elect of the Eastern Vascular Society and the Program Director for the Vascular Surgery Fellowship at Maimonides hospital. 

Our guests join us today to discuss how their departments have adapted during the current COVID-19 pandemic and how we begin to look ahead. Paris and New York City, both densely populated and internationally connected, were similarly hit hard in terms of the volume of COVID-19 cases and the extreme strain placed on healthcare systems. As the pandemic struck Paris a few weeks before New York City, Dr. Haulon is able to give us some insight into the process of transitioning to a new normal. He also discusses the future of medical meetings, and what he is excited about on the horizon for vascular surgery.

This episode was recorded prior to the COVID-19 pandemic as part of our collaborative series with the Society for Vascular Surgery Young Surgeons Advisory Committee. Nicole Rich and Sharif Ellozy talk with Dr. Misty Humphries and Dr. Gregory Magee about what they did, or wish they had done, during training to help them establish their practices as young vascular surgeons.

Our hope is that this episode will inspire fellow colleagues and trainees to reflect on developing their own personal mission, vision, and values statements. What skills can you develop to see your professional goals come to fruition? Who can you connect with that may be or become an important mentor or sponsor?

Dr. Misty Humphries is an Associate Professor in the Division of Vascular Surgery at the University of California at Davis Medical Center, where she serves as the Vascular Surgery Residency Director as well as the Vice Chair of Surgical Outcomes. She completed her general surgery residency at UC Davis, and her Vascular Surgery Fellowship at the University of Utah. Her current research interests include studying disparities in care for patients with critical limb ischemia and in 2019, with grant funding from the National Institute of Health, she began investigating the role of telemedicine programs to reduce amputation rates in rural populations. She serves as an examiner for the Board of Vascular Surgery and a reviewer for the Journal of Vascular Surgery, Annals of Vascular Surgery, and other surgical journals. She participates in multiple national committees as a part of the Society for Vascular Surgery and the Vascular and Endovascular Surgical Society. In 2017 she was awarded a Women's Leadership Grant from the Society for Vascular Surgery for her work as a mentor and scholar.

Dr. Gregory Magee is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Surgery at the University of Southern California, and the Director of Research for the Division of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery. He completed his general surgery residency at Stanford University, a trauma & critical care fellowship at the University of Southern California, and his Vascular Surgery fellowship at the University of Colorado. His research interests include flow dynamics modeling in aortic dissection, medical device development, and novel techniques for complex endovascular aortic repair with fenestrated/branched grafts. He has provided mentorship and teaching to numerous medical students and surgical trainees, serves as a peer reviewer for the Journal of Vascular Surgery among other journals, and participates in multiple hospital-level and national committees dedicated to improving care for vascular surgery patients.
