Behind the Knife

the Surgery Podcast, where we take a behind the scenes intimate look at

surgery from leaders Behind the Knife. So this is another in the installment of the Behind the Knife Association for Academic Surgery,

How I Built It Clinical and Health Services Research Series. I'm joined once again with Fabian Johnston who's the section chief of

GI oncology and program director for complex general surgical oncology at

Johnson Hopkins and he's the chair for the clinical and health services

So in the series we get to sit down with leaders in the field of clinical and health services

and have an opportunity to pick their brain as to how they got where they are and shed a little

insight into the world of clinical and health services research.

So Fabian, who are we talking to today?

in the Department of Surgery at Northwestern and the John Benjamin Murphy Professor of

Surgery at the Feinberg School of Medicine and is currently our president of the AAS.

the listeners and as they're getting started in nature so our research, you know, how you began?
