Dr. Elena Parvez is a surgical oncologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery. Her clinical expertise and research interests are in breast cancer. She is exploring breast cancer outcomes in refugees to Canada who have breast cancer. She has received funding from Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) to conduct a trial which identifies a strategy to avoid post-neoadjuvant radiation therapy in patients with locally advanced breast cancer who have a complete response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
She presented this work at the “Best of CSF Research 2023” session last year.

Adjuvant radiation therapy among immigrant and Canadian-born/long-term resident women with breast cancer. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10718225/https://experts.mcmaster.ca/display/parveze https://www.canadiansurgeryforum.com/Well the summer has come and gone and we’re back into the swing of things! We’re really excited that in a couple of weeks, many surgeons from across Canada will be meeting for our largest national conference, the Canadian Surgical Forum. This year it is in the lovely city of Winnipeg. It’s a time to catch up with friends and colleagues across the country, and to hear the amazing work that’s been going on. This is a teaser for the type and calibre of work that goes on at CSF. Dr. Elena Parvez presented this work last year at the best research of CSF 2023 session. Dr. Parvez is an assistant professor of surgery at McMaster University in Hamilton. Her clinical practice is in surgical oncology. In this episode, she presented her work on adjuvant radiation therapy among immigrant and Canadian-born women with breast cancer.
We look forward to meeting many of our listeners at CSF this year and we’ll be recording some interviews live at CSF. We’d love to hear your feedback and suggestion for content for the upcoming year. As always, you can also send your thoughts to [email protected].

Thank you so much for joining us on the podcast!
In many philosophical and religious traditions, there is an emphasis on how intentionality is one of the fundamental tenets of being able to live a fulfilling life. Marcus Aurelius wrote, “You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this and you will find strength.” One surgeon who is trying to restore that intentionality back to the culture of surgery is Dr. Sharon Stein. Dr. Stein is a colorectal surgeon who has been at the pinnacle of academic surgery and has been among many other things the past president of the Association of Women Surgeons, Chair of American College of Surgeons Women in Surgery Committee, and an executive council of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons. Recently, Dr. Stein started the Intentional Surgeon podcast, dedicated to helping surgeons rediscover their purpose. We had a powerful discusson on a whole myriad of topics, with the throughline of how we can try to restore intentionality and purpose to everything that we do. You can find Dr. Stein on her website www.intentionalsurgeon.com and you can also email her at [email protected] as well as on X at @slssteinmd1.

In this episode, we spoke with Drs. Jen McCall and Romy Nitsch about imposterism. Dr. McCall is a minimally invasive gynecology fellow at the University of Ottawa and Dr. Nitsch is a minimally invasive gynecologist at Queen’s University. The two researchers, along with Jessica Pudwell and Jamie Pyper, recently published a study in the Journal of American College of Surgeons on imposter phenomenon in women surgeons. Their study highlights the near universal phenomenon of imposter phenomenon among women surgeons, some of the risk factors associated with imposterism, and perhaps some strategies for how we might mitigate it.

Dr. Squirrell is a staff gastroenterologist at Queen’s University and has a special expertise in inflammatory bowel disease. In this two part series, we first talk about the diagnosis of crohns disease and the different patterns of its presentation. In part 2, we talk about the changing landscape of medical therapy for Crohns disease and how Dr. Squirrell approaches the treatment of Crohns.

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?

Dr. Bellal Joseph is a trauma surgeon and the chief of the division of trauma, surgical critical care, burns, and acute care surgery at the University of Arizona in Tucson. While it was impossible to delve into the breadth and depth of his research interests, we did explore some of our favorites with Dr. Joseph, including his ongoing investigation into new technologies like REBOA, traumatic brain injuries, and frailty in surgery. What shines through in this conversation is Dr. Joseph’s incredible authenticity, energy and passion for injured and disadvantaged patients, as well as his vision for how physicians can embrace their own brand.

Janice Kwan is an internist at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. Her research interests focus on health care quality and diagnostic error. She collaborated with folks from the Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA) to investigate diagnostic errors in surgery. Her paper, published in the Canadian Journal of Surgery, highlight the significant consequences of diagnostic errors in surgery. We also talked about de-biasing techniques and other strategies for reducing diagnostic error in surgery.

Most of us come out of training and have no idea on how to balance a busy clinical practice, academic interests, and most importantly, our home and personal lives. Mr. Adi Kumar is trying to change that. Mr. Kumar is a consultant neurosurgeon in the UK and has written a book called Work Less, Live More: The Doctor’s Guide for Time Freedom. We caught up with him to talk about his unconventional academic interests and his thoughts on how we as physicians can lead more fulfilling lives.

Shiva Jayaraman is a minimally invasive and hepatobiliary surgeon at St. Joseph’s Hospital. He’s been traveling around the world talking about his innovative peer-to-peer coaching program for bile duct injuries. Not only is this such an important clinical topic that virtually every general surgeon in the world has to deal with, but his group’s approach to coaching is something that we should be trying to replicate on a national and international level.

This is a re-broadcast to honour the memory of the "Boss" Dr. Feliciano.
Original shownotes:
It’s not an understatement to say that Dr. David Feliciano is a true giant in trauma surgery. Dr. David V. Feliciano received his medical degree in 1970 from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. He completed his general surgery training at Mayo Clinic, in trauma at Wayne State University, and vascular surgery at Baylor College of Medicine (where he trained under Dr. DeBakey). He was Professor of Surgery at Emory University and Surgeon-in-Chief at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia from 1991 to 2011. He is now a Clinical Professor of Surgery at the University of Maryland and an attending surgeon at Shock Trauma.
We discuss with him how he recruited such amazing faculty, developing one’s technical skills, research, and the future of trauma.

We still got more in the vault from CSF 2023! In this episode, Dr. Spoyalo talked about her work on perioperative warming at Vancouver General Hospital. Listen to the work she's done to understand what goes on for warming (most patients have 11 blankets!) and the modeling she's done to figure out the most effective techniques for warming.

Dr. Haytham Kaafarani is a trauma surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital. We caught up with him after he recently gave a phenomenal talk at the Canadian Surgical Forum in Vancouver earlier this year. Dr. Kaafarani talked about his work in Lebanon after the explosion in 2020, his research on intra operative adverse events, and ultimately on his work as surgeons as second victims. This episode is a clarion call for surgeons everywhere to develop these support systems for each other.
