Dr. Rodney Perkins - Innovating in the Medical Space
Dr. Rodney Perkins is the Founder of The Perkins Clinic at Earlens. He also serves as a Professor Emeritus of Surgery at The Stanford University School of Medicine, where he started The California Ear Institute. He has a long history as a pioneer in the otolaryngology field and has developed surgical procedures for middle ear reconstruction and ear-drum transplantation. He’s also played a role in pioneering lasers for high-precision surgeries, many of which are widely recognized today as standard-of-care. He is also the innovator behind “Project Hear,” the ear tissue bank.
As an entrepreneur, Dr. Perkins has founded over 13 successful companies including ReSound Corporation, Sound ID, and Earlens Corporation. He earned his medical degree from Indiana University and completed his surgical residency at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
In this episode…Similar to what happens in other professions, many doctors and entrepreneurs in the medical space fall into a pattern of doing the same things every day. As time goes by, they get burnt out and find it difficult to pivot for other, more interesting ideas.
Dr. Rodney Perkins advises entrepreneurs in the medical space to stay current and up-to-date with innovations within the industry. To do this, Dr. Perkins has one piece of advice: stop going through the motions and think outside the box. Once you break from your routine, you’ll start coming up with new innovations regularly — which will go a long way in helping provide better products and services to patients.
In this week's episode of ListenUp!, Dr. Mark Syms interviews Dr. Rodney Perkins, the Founder of The Perkins Clinic at Earlens, about innovating in the medical space. Dr. Perkins explains how the idea for Earlens came about, talks about some of his inventions, and explains how spending some time alone helps him come up with great ideas.
