In 2017, the UC San Diego Department of Surgery began the Humans of Surgery project. Inspired by the Humans of New York, we aim to capture the stories of our staff, faculty and trainees both in and out of the hospital. We have interviewed countless department members, unpacking their inspirations, motivations and challenges in life as well as the surgical field.
The people in the Department of Surgery are more than just their position. They are people with rich histories, clear ambitions and a unique desire to make a difference in this world. From work-life balance to decision-making in the operating room, Humans of Surgery covers it all. The stories you find may make you laugh or shed a tear, but we’re proud to present the people that make our work possible.
