Chai Time With Dr. Asif Ilyas: Orthopedics, Opioids, and Medical Education

Orthopedic surgeon at the Rothman Institute, President of the Rothman Opioid Foundation, and recently appointed Associate Dean of Clinical Research at the Drexel School of Medicine- Dr. Ilyas does it all.

A career in medicine can take on so many shapes and forms. For Dr Ilyas that meant molding his work around passions like surgery, improving surgical processes, and training the next generation of physicians. In this week’s episode, we discuss with Dr Ilyas why he chose his field, what he’s hoped to achieve through his non-profit research organization, and how he plans to further develop clinical research proficiency at the Drexel College of Medicine.

This episode is essentially a short but detailed set of blueprints to Dr Ilyas’s medical journey. Tune in to get a sense of what it’s like working in his field, as well as to learn how he’s tailored his professional life to his core interests. Trust us, you’d be hard pressed to find many other ways to get such a comprehensive look into the field of Ortho  in just 50 minutes! (Major props to Dr Ilyas for that)
