Dean's Chat - All Things Podiatric Medicine

Ep. 83 - Ellie Nasser, DPM, FACFAS - Residency Director/ACFAS/Mentor


Listen Later

Dean's Chat hosts, Dr. Jeffrey Jensen and Dr. Johanna Richey, are joined by Dr. Ellie Nasser, a successful podiatric physician from Scranton, PA.

Dr. Nasser is currently practicing at the Geisinger Community Medical Center. Dr. Nasser graduated from the Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine and completed her medical and surgical residency training at the Geisinger Community Medical Center. She did a fellowship in Limb Salvage and Reconstructive Surgery at Northeast Regional Foot and Ankle Institute.

Her passion for education is evident as Dr. Nasser is the Program Director for the Geisinger Community Medical Center and is one of approximately 15% of female Program Directors in the country.

We also discuss fellowships, the current trends, the benefits, which residents benefit the most. Overall, the field of podiatric medicine offers a range of career paths that allow practitioners to specialize in specific areas and provide specialized care to patients. Whether it's wound care, trauma, hospitalist-based podiatry, or other options, podiatrists have the opportunity to pursue their interests and make a significant impact in the field.

Dr. Nasser emphasizes the significance of being intentional and selective when it comes to saying yes or no to various opportunities. She highlights the fact that every yes inherently means saying no to something else. Therefore, when we choose to say yes to one commitment or opportunity, we are inevitably saying no to others.

Reflecting on her own journey,  Dr. Nasser discusses how she learned to say no and prioritize her own happiness and fulfillment. Initially, she said yes to everything, but eventually realized that it was impossible to continue doing so. This realization prompted her to reflect on what truly brings her joy and fulfillment, both personally and professionally.

Tune in for a fun discussion on the Geisinger Residency program, its structure, the clerkship experience, and her teaching philosophy.
