John H T Waldhausen, MD

"The opportunity to positively affect the lives of children and to work with a team of highly skilled professionals in achieving that goal is a tremendously fulfilling and rewarding experience. Helping to train the next generation of pediatric surgeons allows me to have an impact on our field that far exceeds the limited number of patients I will see in my career. Each pediatric surgeon will take care of maybe 15,000–20,000 children over a career, but each person we train will do the same, as will each one that person trains, and so on. So the impact on our field and what we give back to society has the potential to become much larger than ourselves."
