A conversation between Dr. Lee Kaplan and Dr. Stephen Nimer, director of Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. In his leadership role at the only National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer center in South Florida, Dr. Nimer has cultivated a team of more than 250 world-class physicians and researchers to create an environment of excellence and collaboration. He is a physician-scientist who has dedicated his career to conducting extensive clinical and basic science research on treating adult leukemia.
We discuss with Dr. Nimer the importance of focus, purpose, and a culture of high standards in driving optimal performance, the impact of building the right team for professional and personal accountability, the critical role of compassion when caring for patients, and his love of cycling, among other topics.
