EP 29: “Leave A Legacy" featuring anesthesiologist, professor, and avid runner Stephen Haskins, MD

Stephen Haskins, MD is an anesthesiologist who has worked at the Hospital for Special Surgery, the top orthopedic hospital in the nation, for 11 consecutive years. He is also a Clinical Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology at Weill-Cornell Medical College. In addition to providing care for various patients undergoing orthopedic procedures, including many professional athletes, Dr. Haskins has an academic and clinical passion for Point-of-Care Ultrasound (PoCUS). PoCUS uses ultrasound at the bedside to enhance clinical assessment and has been called the “Stethoscope of the 21st Century.” Dr. Haskins has been practicing, teaching, and promoting this innovative clinical skill in the peri-surgical setting for almost ten years and has taught or lectured on PoCUS in ~20 states, seven countries, and four continents. He is also the Associate Editor of a major anesthesia journal, the co-founder and chair of several U.S.-based global anesthesia conferences, and has authored many notable academic publications. Born and raised in Michigan, Stephen Haskins moved to the East Coast to attend Choate Rosemary Hall, graduating in 2000 as the first African-American legacy since its founding in 1890. Stephen graduated from Yale University with a B.S. in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and then from New York University School of Medicine, where he received his M.D. with Honors. He then completed an internship and residency at Weill-Cornell New York-Presbyterian Hospital and was chosen to serve as Chief Resident during his final year. Stephen capped off his training by completing a fellowship at the Hospital for Special Surgery in regional anesthesiology and acute pain medicine. Although he mostly supports his artist friends and enjoys nights of NYC karaoke, he recently joined a band (PLXS) as the lead singer. He has also recently become a long-distance running fanatic and is training for the 2020 New York City Virtual Marathon.
