SURGICAL ERGONOMICS

However, I quickly learned that sharing my own experience with WRMSD allowed others to share theirs. This, in turn, inspired me to establish a Surgical Ergonomics Interest Group (@SurgErgoGroup on Twitter) for other like-minded surgeons interested in changing the culture of our profession and developing solutions to counteract the causes and impact of poor ergonomics on surgeons' lives. Together our group has worked to create a Surgical Ergonomics module for SCORE, which is a structured program for self-learning used by many general surgery programs across the country... Dr. Geeta Lal is committed to helping her fellow surgeons prevent and treat work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD) through coaching, speaking, workshops and more. Contact her today!
