Dr. Sharmila Dissanaike is a trauma and acute care surgeon and is the chair of surgery at Texas Tech University. She holds multiple national leadership roles, including as President-Elect of the American Burn Association, Vice-President of the Southwest Surgical Congress, and Governor of the American College of Surgeons. We really delved into her thoughts on her philosophy on leadership. How do you create a supportive culture? How do you make the hard decisions and have the hard conversations? Most importantly, how do we stay true to ourselves and our own values? X/Twitter: https://x.com/DissanaikeMDLinks:Burnout, shiftwork and suicide: 2022 Scott B.
