Doug Hood MD

Outstanding Surgical EducatorJunior Faculty Took time to explain concepts, communicated clearly.

Asset to the program. Takes real interest in our development as surgeons; it is both noticed & appreciated.

Can reliably give you recent articles to read or discuss as an important part of diagnostic workup & treatment.

Awesome. Constantly teaching in OR. Incredibly knowledgeable which both makes teaching effective & also stimulates me to grow in my own learning. Quoting literature constantly. Definitely one of my new favorites.

I always come away with 20 questions answered & 20 more that I find myself wanting to look up later.

Continue to be impressed by patient care, devotion to teaching, & knowledge base.

My guess is that she'll go incredibly far & that we'll brag one day that we worked with her as residents.

Sabha Ganai MD, PhD

Outstanding Surgical Educator

Senior Faculty Has excellent grasp of current literature on many topics, not just own specialty, makes me want to read an article.

Allows resident ample opportunity in OR to learn new skills.

Patient & takes the extra time to evaluate resident Fund of knowledge is more than any surgeon I've met -

gives me daily motivation to read more. Consistency of temperament even under stress has

been so meaningful – encourages me that a surgeon can & should be able to maintain composure; provides an example to work toward.

Always reachable, always with good clinical advice Has a selfless drive for serving others & for being

excellent at what he does is evident in everything he does & benefits everyone he interacts with.
