This episode features Mark C. Weissler, MD, FACS, an otolaryngologist and head-and-neck surgeon from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, who delivered the J. Conley Ethics and Philosophy Lecture at Clinical Congress 2024. In his lecture, “Surgical Professionalism and Autonomy in the 21st Century,” Dr. Weissler will unravel the profound shifts in surgery that have quietly reshaped the profession in ways some may not have fully realized, such as the loss of autonomy and the transfer of regulation to external entities. He also answers pressing ethical and moral questions from the surgeon audience.
