Welcome to Episode 74 of Building My Legacy.
In this podcast, we talk again with trauma surgeon and epidemiologist Dr. Turner Osler. As an academic physician, Dr. Osler brings a unique perspective to our in-depth discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic, what we should be doing now and what this pandemic has taught us about the state of medicine in the U.S. We also explore the future of medicine, why the U.S. continues to have a shortage of family practitioners and what it means for our country.
So if you want to know:
- Why viruses are unique and why COVID-19 is a “fascinating virus among viruses”
- How our own behavior is the most important factor in solving this pandemic
- Why businesses should be looking at reengineering workflow right now
- About the complexities of vaccine production and distribution
- An academic physician’s thoughts on the future of medicine in the U.S.
About Dr. Turner Osler
After a successful career as a trauma surgeon, Dr. Osler became a research epidemiologist. He has published more than 300 peer-reviewed medical papers and book chapters. An entrepreneur, Dr. Osler also serves as CEO of QOR360 – pronounced “core three-sixty.” He founded this Vermont company to “change the way the world sits.” Today QOR360 manufactures chairs that are ergonomic, healthy and promote “active seating.” Through ButtOn Chairs, Dr. Osler offers schools the opportunity to make their own active seating chairs at a cost of just $5 each for the material. By allowing students to move at their desks, the chairs help children burn more calories and can even result in improved test scores.
