Visiting Hours S02 E11- Prof. Shekhar Kumta

from Visiting Hours Hosted by NorthernHealth

In this episode we visit with Professor Shekhar Kumta, Academic Lead for the Department of Surgery. From early beginnings in India as a trauma surgeon, to micro-vascular reconstruction in Hong Kong, Shekhar recounts the steps that led him to Northern Health. He identifies Northern Health as the perfect place to build research data sets, given the richly diverse cultural demographic of the area, and stresses the importance of keeping patient outcomes at the centre of that research. He reveals how passions and hobbies can actually free up your mind enabling you to tackle work in new and creative ways. We learn that the opportunity to interact with people is the driving force behind everything he does. Stop by and enjoy a visit with us.
