54. The Spaces Between Technique with Dr. Jason Han Artwork

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.

54. The Spaces Between Technique with Dr. Jason Han

November 02, 2022 • Phil Pierorazio • Season 5 • Episode 9

Jason Han, MD is a cardiac surgery resident at the University of Pennsylvania, a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, and the founder of The Modern Surgeon. Jason provides unique perspective from a trainee with his eyes uniquely on the future - he graduates from residency this year! We talk about the changing perspective from student, to trainee, to surgeon and how being present and simplifying one's own principles can keep you grounded. We stumble across this podcast's title, "The Space Between Technique" when we discuss all the things missing from surgical education - how to think and behave, not just operate. It's a great conversation and I hope you enjoy!
