see one / do one podcast - s02e01 Sanj Kakar: coming to america

It's been a long time (we shouldn't have left you...) but the see one / do one podcast is back with Season 2 after a summer hiatus - and how!
In this episode we speak with Sanj Kakar, an orthopaedic hand and wrist surgeon and a Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Mayo Clinic.
But Sanj has a secret, he is in fact British!
Furthermore, he actually went to medical school with our very own Pete Bates and knows one or two stories about the antics of a young Master Bates in his formative years, as we discover!
In this wide-ranging and fun conversation we cover many different aspects of Sanj’s life and career including:
- growing up in West London
- medical school and early years surgical training in London
- how he ended up going to the US initially
- and the decision to stay there for residency training and beyond
- why he chose Boston
- highlights from his time as an ABC Fellow and returning to London
- how he survived the endurance test that is the ABC Fellowship
- the logistics and challenges of "The Match"
- how he ended up at the Mayo Clinic
- and the Mayo secret sauce
- Kash's experiences of visiting Mayo as a Winston Churchill Fellow
- why the USA is the land of opportunity
- but not all that glitters is gold
- life in the USA for a Brit
- key mentors and people in his journey
- his plans for the future
- and much more!
