Carlos VR Brown, MD is a trauma surgeon in Austin, TX. After a career in the Navy, he moved back home to Austin where he played a key role in building a level I trauma center, a general surgery residency, as -as if that wasn't a lot already - The Dell Medical School at UT Austin. All in a little over 5 years. Dr. Brown shares his thoughts on how he builds teams and makes what "should happen" a reality for his home town.

I mentioned last week that I would be talking to Dr. Satish Nadig. That episode will come later. In the meantime, watch his TEDx talk on the future of nanotechnology in transplant surgery. 

In this episode, I also mention the #EAST4All initiative on equity from the Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma. Check out past-president Dr. Andrew Bernard introducing that task force in his presidential address from January.
