State of the Union is our ongoing conversation series where we interview surgeon and physician leaders working through a dynamic healthcare landscape in real time. We ask where their field stands today, what has changed, what has endured, the questions still unknown, and all the nuance in between.
No single interview can capture an entire specialty. But together, these conversations offer a running record of the evolution of surgical care.
