SAGES Stories Episode 21 – Dana Telem, MD

Welcome to the SAGES Stories Podcast! In episode 21, we talk to the tiniest overachiever ever, Dana Telem, MD, current Vice President of SAGES, Professor of Surgery at the University of Michigan, and a great friend to many of us. Your hosts Shirin Towfigh, MD and Kevin El Hayek, MD talk to Dr. Telem about Fall weather (we might be posting this slightly out of order), evolutionary biology as a gateway to surgery, developing skin by being from Philadelphia, and why lipomas are important (they are). Oh, and we talk about creating an academic surgical career for oneself and the importance of finding your people. Links from the pod: SAGES 2024 Annual Meeting
