- 0:00Speaker 1: Kareem Sarhaynes shares lessons from US surgical training. Hello everyone,
- 0:04Speaker 1: this is Kareem Sarhin. Today I want to share some
- 0:08Speaker 1: lessons from my experience in US surgical training and how
- 0:11Speaker 1: those years shape the way I approach surgery, patient care
- 0:15Speaker 1: and professional growth. Training in the United States taught me
- 0:19Speaker 1: that becoming a good surgeon is about much more than
- 0:21Speaker 1: learning technical procedures. It requires discipline, preparation, team work, and
- 0:27Speaker 1: a willingness to keep learning. Every patient brings a different situation,
- 0:32Speaker 1: and good surgical care begins with understanding the individual rather
- 0:36Speaker 1: than simply focusing on the procedure. One of the most
- 0:39Speaker 1: important lessons I learned was the value of preparation. Before
- 0:44Speaker 1: entering the operating room, A surgeon needs to understand the
- 0:47Speaker 1: patient's condition, review the available information, anticipate possible challenges, and
- 0:53Speaker 1: have a clear plan. At the same time, surgery requires
- 0:58Speaker 1: the ability to adapt when circumstance answers change. Another important
- 1:02Speaker 1: lesson was learning from every member of the surgical team.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Surgery is a collaborative field. Effective communication between surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, residents,
- 1:15Speaker 1: and other healthcare professionals can make a meaningful difference in
- 1:19Speaker 1: patient care. Respect and clear communication help create a safer
- 1:23Speaker 1: working environment. US surgical training also reinforce the importance of
- 1:28Speaker 1: evidence based practice. Medical knowledge continues to evolve, so surgeons
- 1:34Speaker 1: must remain open to new research, techniques and approaches. Learning
- 1:38Speaker 1: should not stop after residency or fellowship. For me, these
- 1:43Speaker 1: experiences continue to influence my work as a surgeon and educator.
- 1:48Speaker 1: I believe that strong surgical training combines technical ability with
- 1:52Speaker 1: sound judgment, compassion, team work, and lifelong learning. These principles
- 1:57Speaker 1: remain valuable wherever a surgeon practices, an whatever stage of
- 2:01Speaker 1: their career they have reached.
