Breaking In: Dr. Brian Nwannunu on Orthopedics, Representation, and Resilience
Description
Orthopedic surgery almost never looks like Dr. Brian Nwannunu, and that’s exactly why his story matters. His path through Morehouse, Georgetown, Howard, and Baylor reveals a specialty still reckoning with exclusion, even as it demands excellence at every turn. We talk about breaking through the gates, the mentors who rearrange your trajectory, the patients who shape your practice, and the quiet toll of carrying representation into the OR.
This episode is about resilience, reinvention, and the future of surgical training, told by someone who is changing it from the inside.
