Operate with Zen
While incredibly rewarding and honored vocations, careers in medicine and surgery are fraught with stress, burnout and challenges in work-life balance. OWZ is intended to open dialogue about a mindful approach to surgery - to create a space where physicians and surgeons can enhance their life's work and life experience with a focus on presence, purpose and practical skills. OWZ combines didactic-like monologues to provide baseline information and available scientific data on practical topics like time management, sleep hygiene and burnout; as well as interviews with surgeons and experts to share what works and doesn't work in their daily routines.

She is also an outstanding advocate for surgeons - leading the movement to understand burnout in our specialty (urology) and women in surgery. Our conversation meanders through fascinating topics with a focus on the key components of a sustainable career. We even touch on Ted Lasso (see picture behind her).
