My work improves global access to the tissues, tools, and teachers that surgeons need to practice. Five years ago, I learned 3D printing as a medical student in order to make temporal bone surgical simulators for my peers and residents who have limited access to real or synthetic temporal bones.Then I launched augment.surgery before starting otolaryngology residency. augment.surgery is a sustainable design and manufacturing company with the mission to ensure widely distributed, inclusive and equitable access to surgical education while caring for people, planet, and purpose.You'll find that my research and company practices are meant to avoid harm by choosing biohazard-free, biobased, biodegradable, and recycled materials whenever available and appropriate for simulating a given surgery. My goals align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to contribute the most to good health and well-being (SDG 3), quality education (SDG 4), and responsible consumption and production (SDG 12).
