Winner of the Bucksbaum National Award for Clinical Excellence

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Dee Fenner, the first recipient of the Bucksbaum National Award for Clinical Excellence. A trailblazer in the field of urogynecology, Dr. Fenner shares her remarkable journey - from being one of the few women in her medical school class to becoming a nationally recognized expert in pelvic floor disorders and reconstructive surgery.

Dr. Fenner discusses how she found her passion in obstetrics and gynecology, and how she helped advance the burgeoning field of urogynecology. She reflects on the importance of creating a safe, comfortable environment for her vulnerable patients, and the challenges of training the next generation of surgeons. 

As she looks to the future, Dr. Fenner is both excited and apprehensive about how data science and AI will impact patient care. At the same time, she remains focused on mentoring her colleagues and ensuring her department's continued success.
