About this listen
What makes a great orthopaedic leader? Dr. Alex Ghanayem, fresh off his term as the 137th President of the American Orthopaedic Association (AOA), shares candid reflections on leadership, legacy, and the future of orthopaedic surgery in this thought-provoking conversation with podcast host, Dr. Doug Lundy.
Dr. Ghanayem brings refreshing humility to his assessment of presidential leadership, emphasizing that the organization's strength lies in its committee members and chairs doing the essential work. His greatest satisfaction came not from personal accomplishment but from identifying emerging leaders who will guide orthopaedics through future challenges.
Hear the advice that resonates far beyond orthopaedics: balance subspecialty expertise with broader engagement, develop interests outside medicine (like Dr. Ghanayem’s own wildlife photography), and recognize that leadership service provides returns far exceeding what you invest.
Listen to discover how orthopaedic leadership principles might transform your own approach to medicine and career development.
