To me, caring for children as an academic pediatric surgeon means investigating surgical outcomes and training the next generation of surgeons while advocating for children’s health care resources. This is challenging, rewarding, and requires interdisciplinary team work, in and out of the operating room to achieve the best surgical outcomes.
