Dr. David Levy joins us today to discuss burnout and resilience. Burnout is on the rise in healthcare and in many other fields. Being able to understand the causes, symptoms and treatment of burnout are essential to solving this problem.
Dr Levy is a neurosurgeon who practiced high-risk neurosurgery for more than 20 years, specialized in surgery of the blood vessels of the brain. Dr. Levy attended Medical School at Emory University in Atlanta, and he obtained Neurosurgical Training at Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona under Dr. Robert Spetzler, a pioneer in vascular neurosurgery. After completing a Fellowship at the University of Vienna (Austria), Dr. Levy was one of the first neurosurgeons in the United States to be double specialized in endovascular neurosurgery, performing minimally- invasive surgery on brain vessels without opening the head, entering through the femoral artery in the patient’s leg. Dr. Levy has performed neurosurgery in Paris (France), India, Kenya and Congo and has also spoken in the USA and internationally on topics of neurosurgery, neuroscience and faith.
