Business Tools for Change and Leadership

Step outside the operating room with us to explore the art, creativity, and humanism that shape a surgeon’s life beyond medicine. Our guest Dr. Adnan Alseidi is not only a renowned hepatobiliary surgeon and surgical educator, but also an avid diver, photographer, and chef. Dr. Alseidi takes us from World War 2 shipwrecks to his restaurants around the world, reflecting on the fragility of humanity revealed in the oceans and moments of connection simmering in the kitchen. Along the way, he shares how creativity, service, and humility fuel his passions and his practice.

Join hosts Pooja Varman, MD, Judith French, PhD, and Jeremy Lipman, MD, MHPE, for this inspiring conversation about finding joy and connection in and beyond surgical practice.
