Mentorship beyond formal training is becoming a lost art in medicine. In my career, I've been fortunate enough to have senior partners willing to discuss cases, share pearls of wisdom, and offer words of encouragement. Having your father as your mentor is a special opportunity few get to experience. For our second episode of The Surgeon’s Record Webinar series, I was thrilled to be joined by father and son team: ????Dr. Amandeep Bhalla, Orthopedic Spine Surgeon Long Beach Medical Center, Commons Clinic ????Dr. Sarbpaul Bhalla, Retired Orthopedic Spine Surgeon Amandeep and Sarbpual shared an OR for over 7 years and scrubbed together on a couple thousand cases. This year, Sarbpaul is retiring after 40 years in practice. Our conversation covered the perspectives of two different generations of Spine Surgeons -- how the practice of medicine has changed, staying dedicated and humble, and learning to change with the times. The episode drops tomorrow, September 26th at 12pm PT / 3pm ET! #medicine #healthcare #health #spinesurgery #valuebasedcare #orthopedics #msk
