Lessons From Trauma Surgery and Fishing with Dr. John Fildes | The Academy
In this episode, we are talking to Dr. John Fildes, an internationally known trauma surgeon, researcher, educator and administrator in the fields of medicine and medical education.
Dr. Fildes has practiced in Nevada since 1996. He was the inaugural chair of surgery and former associate dean for external affairs for the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV. He also served as interim dean during an important transition period for the school.
As medical director of University Medical Center's Trauma Center, he was front and center during the response to the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas that killed 60 people and wounded more than 400 others.
