David Linehan MD is the current Dean and CEO of the University of Rochester School of Medicine and the Medical Center.
He grew up in Boston having lost his father as a toddler. Despite living in the tough streets of Dorchester - Whitey Bulger and all that stuff - he learned that education and hard work would lead him to a better life.
Academic achievement took him through College and the Medical School necessary to become a surgeon. A Surgical Oncology Fellowship at MSKCC in New York was the final step to establishing a successful early career as a surgeon scientist at Wash U in St. Louis where he became known as a pioneer in novel therapies for pancreatic cancer.
Rochester called and a decade as the Chairman of Surgery prepared him well for the latest step upwards to the world of Institution leadership and all that involves.
In this interview, he takes us through his early life in Boston attending school with the Bulger kids - the same school that became the epicenter of the Catholic Church scandal powerfully portrayed in the movie "Spotlight".
He talks about hitting the mentorship jackpot and what changing career directions is likely to involve.
Fascinating stuff to hear - or indeed watch on the @Youtube channel @surgeonslives
