This episode of Is This It? features a conversation with Mark Shrime.

Mark G. Shrime, MD, MPH, PhD, FACS, is the founder and Director of the Center for Global Surgery Evaluation at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, an Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology and of Global Health and Social Medicine at the Harvard Medical School, and a Visiting Research Scholar at Princeton University’s Center for Health and Wellbeing. 

We cover an awful lot in this episode, ranging from training to be a ninja, global surgery, and colonialism. Mark explains the need for humility when working in other cultures, and challenges people to continue to ask the tough questions. I loved this conversation, and I learned so much from Mark.
