Herb Chen and being organized
Manage episode 413765434 series 3458767
Herb Chen is a pretty accomplished guy when you think about it! Having said that, I have accused him of being worryingly organized!
Dr. Chen is Chair of the Department of Surgery at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), the Surgeon-in-Chief of UAB Hospital and Health System, and the Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs in the UAB Heersink School of Medicine. He is a Professor of Surgery, Pediatrics, and Biomedical Engineering, and holds the Fay Fletcher Kerner Endowed Chair.
He is the American Cancer Society MEN2 Thyroid Cancer Professor.
Dr. Chen is the Editor-in-Chief of the American Journal of Surgery.
Born in Staten Island he grew up in a small Wisconsin town, the son of an Orthopedic surgeon. His training CV is exemplary - Stanford, Duke, Hopkins - I mean C'mon Man!
He spent 15 years in Madison, Wisconsin where he laid the bedrock of an outstanding career before becoming the Chair in Alabama a decade ago. He is a man of his time - an his time involves surgical science, work-life balance, diversity and inclusion.
And he has a secret ambition that perhaps panders to his penchant for excessive organization!!
You can also watch this on YouTube - I want these interviews to form a small part of surgical history.
