Tom Varghese - Surgeon, Double Immigrant and serious thinker

Tom Varghese - Surgeon, Double Immigrant and serious thinker

Tom Varghese, MD, is the chief of the section of Thoracic Surgery at the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Utah. He's also many other things, including the president of the Society of University Surgeons and one of the founders of the Strong for Surgery program in the American College of Surgeons.

He's been NIH funded for quite some time now and is heavily focused in the areas of quality and integrated care. However, he is very much more than that.

He was born in India and immigration to America following his father who won the green card lottery. He then went back to India for medical school and back to America again to start and completes surgical training. So he knows all about being considered different remembering that he was different in America and now was different in India.

He has a lot to say about the changing environment of healthcare, including the development of integrated care and challenges facing academic medical centers, as well as the roles of mentors throughout his career.

In this conversation, we also ask what he thinks might lie in front of those of us in the healthcare industry - the next big thing?
