60 | Dr. Amiria Lynch on vulnerability, surgical education & paediatric surgery

Dr Amiria Lynch is a Paediatric Surgeon and Supervisor of Training working at Monash Children’s Hospital in Melbourne. She completed her medical degree at University of Otago, and then completed surgical training throughout New Zealand before completing her training in Melbourne in 2011. Amiria completed post Fellowship training in Paediatric Colorectal Surgery in Leeds, UK before returning to Melbourne. She has a passionate interest in surgical education, particularly in teaching professionalism and human factors. In completing her Masters of Surgical Education she completed a study investigating the tension between vulnerability and credibility in surgeons. She is on a mission to improve the culture of medicine, particularly surgery to make it a place that everybody can thrive, not just white men. Her work life is combined with her home life where Amiria attempts to limit the chaos of a two surgeon and four small children family. In this episode, we discuss her research on leading with vulnerability and improving credibility as surgeons, the toxicity and improvements to surgical education, diversity of leadership in women and men, and all things paediatric surgery. As always, if you have any feedback or queries, or if you would like to get in touch with the speaker, feel free to get in touch at [email protected] credit:Bliss by Luke Bergs https://soundcloud.com/bergscloudCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/33DJFs9Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/e9aXhBQDT9YSupport the showAs always, if you have any feedback or queries, or if you would like to get in touch with the speaker, feel free to get in touch at [email protected].
