This special “Leveling Up” episode of the Award-Winning PRS Global Open Deep Cuts Podcast was recorded live at PSTM22 (Plastic Surgery The Meeting 2022) in Boston, Massachusetts. In this episode, Dr. Kyle Eberlin discusses many topics with our host, Dr. Puru Nagarkar: the three most important things Dr. Eberlin expects residents to do in his operating room, what he does to effectively plan and execute complex surgeries, how he has improved his surgical efficiency over time, his approach to time management and juggling the priorities of clinical work, research, and family, how Chess and Squash have made him a better surgeon, how the Interdisciplinary clinic for amputee care at Mass General came about, and why decision-making is probably the hardest part of being a surgeon.
