We were lucky to have Dr. Neel Datta on the podcast this week! Dr. Datta is a colorectal surgeon in Calgary. He did a Masters of Health Economics at the London School of Economics, and has used that expertise to model some of the issues around surgical workforce planning in Canada. We really dug into some of the issues around unemployment and underemployment of surgeons in Canada, and perhaps some solutions to that very real problem.Links:1.
