In this episode, we focus on a paper published in the journal Anesthesiology titled "Labeled Surgical Caps: A Tool to Improve Perioperative Communication.” I'm joined by one of the authors, Dr. Ausama Nassar.

Originally known as the #theatrecapchallenge in Australia, Dr. Nassar talks about how the idea of scrub caps with names and positions took off at Stanford.

Dr. Nassar is a Clinical Assistant Professor in our Division of General Surgery. He is Director of our Surgical Critical Care Fellowship Program, and Director of Stanford Health Care’s Surgery Coaching Program.
