White Coat Coaching | The Orthopedic Podcast

  Dr. Roy Meals is a well known name in the field of hand surgery.  Dr. Meals has long been influential in academic literature and has recently ventured into blogging for the general public on his aptly named site www.aboutbone.com.  In this episode, we discuss both aspects of his literary pursuits including what it is like to be editor in chief of the Journal of Hand Surgery and what drives him to write for curious people beyond orthopedic surgeons.  We also discuss his teaching philosophy and how it was influenced by his mentor, Dr. Raymond Curtis.  I also get a chance to elicit some personal advice that is applicable to anyone applying for residencies or fellowships.
