The Nepal Episodes, Chapter Three: The Mind of a Learner


Listen Later

What lessons can we learn from each other? At the Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology in Kathmandu, Nepal, ophthalmologists from around the world convene to improve their surgical skills – and share lessons learned in patient care, community outreach, and global health. In this third and final "Nepal Episode," Chloe discusses the importance of patient education with Srijana Adhikari, MD, Head of the Tilganga Department of Pediatric Ophthalmology. Finally, Chloe reconnects with UCSF ophthalmologists Neeti Parikh, MD and Madeline Yung, MD, to discuss the "mind of a learner" and the importance of viewing each experience as a learning opportunity. In celebration of this final episode, we give a special thanks to everyone at the Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology for their time, generosity, and hospitality in creating these "Nepal Episodes."
