ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Join us in this special combined episode for a roundtable discussion with six physicians who are also living with spinal cord injury: Drs. Hammad Aslam, Lance Goetz, Suzy Kim, Jesse Lieberman, John Lin, and Trevor Dyson-Hudson. Representing a diverse range of clinical practice settings, injury experiences, and career paths, these physicians share perspectives shaped by their dual roles as healthcare providers living with SCI. In this conversation, we explore how spinal cord injury influenced their journeys through medical training, specialty selection, and professional development. Our guests reflect on navigating medical education before, during, and after injury, the challenges and opportunities associated with practicing medicine with varying levels of function, and the ways lived experience has informed their interactions with patients, colleagues, and trainees. They also discuss memorable clinical encounters, evolving perspectives on disability within healthcare, and the unique insights that arise from occupying both sides of the patient-provider relationship. We invite you to listen in as these physicians share lessons learned throughout their careers, discuss what excites them most about the future of spinal cord injury medicine, and offer thoughtful advice for healthcare professionals, trainees, and individuals living with SCI.
