Teaching the Next Generation - Dr. Uday on How Wisdom, Practice, and Humanity Shape Medical Excellence
Description
Dr. Uday Devgan has taught thousands of medical students and ophthalmology residents, earning top teaching awards for more than 20 consecutive years. In this rich conversation, he opens up about the realities of medical training, the art of teaching, the limits of modern healthcare systems, and the human connection that should never be lost in medicine. His reflections offer a rare behind-the-scenes look at what doctors truly navigate—expectations, patient communication, systemic strain, and the pursuit of mastery.

- Humanity matters as much as clinical skill. Presence, empathy, and connection remain core to healing.
