Space Force or Neurosurgery -- Meet Dr. Connor Wathen, graduating Penn Neurosurgeon

Описание: We have three Chief Residents graduating in June 2025 who have now spent seven years at the University of Pennsylvania training. In this episode, we meet Dr. Connor Wathen. He has a unique life story as his father is in the air force and flew B-52 bombers for a living. His entire family went into the Air Force and now Space Force, but instead he chose the life of Neurosurgery.

I am Dr. John Y.K. Lee, MD, MSCE, professor of Neurosurgery at the University of Pennsylvania, and I have been practicing at Penn since 2006. However, the information provided here is NOT sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania.
