We were honored to have Leah Brown, MD join us for a recent Leadership Series and Grand Rounds.
Dr. Brown is a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine and surgery of the knee, shoulder and elbow. She is currently based at UT Health San Antonio, where she also serves as a clinical associate professor and the lead team orthopaedic surgeon for the San Antonio Spurs.
Dr. Brown also brings a distinguished U.S. Navy military background, having served as a Navy orthopaedic surgeon with deployment experience in Iraq and Afghanistan, providing musculoskeletal and trauma care in high-acuity operational environments. She was recognized for her service with the Bronze Star Medal.
Dr. Brown shared an insightful look into her path to practice and experiences with team coverage, offering valuable perspective for our fellows and faculty. She also led a compelling Grand Rounds discussion on “What Surgeons Are Never Taught About Physician Liability—and How That Impacts Us,” highlighting critical considerations that are often overlooked in training.
Thank you, Dr. Brown, for your expertise, transparency, and impactful discussion.
