The William Ersil Research day invited guest and moderator for 2025 was Dr. Krista Goulding. Dr. Goulding is an Orthopedic Surgeon at Mayo Clinic Arizona, where she specializes in caring for patients with sarcomas and other cancerous and non-cancerous tumors of the musculoskeletal system. Dr. Goulding’s expertise is in limb preservation surgery using innovative techniques (synthetic and bone transplants, 3D printed and patient-specific implants, joint replacement). Her goal is to cure cancer while preserving function and quality of life. She is involved in research on a national and international scale, and is currently researching ways to improving surgical, oncologic and health-related quality of life outcomes for patients with malignant bone and soft tissue cancers. In this “How I Built This” segment of the research day, we explored Dr. Goulding’s career.

Jeremy Heffner is a trauma and acute care surgeon at Lima Memorial Health System in Ohio. He is also the Chief Operating Officer of SurgeON, a social media company dedicated to surgeons. Heffner was also previously a bioengineer who worked at NIH. He has been incredibly open about his journey and struggles with PTSD as a surgeon, and how those struggles ultimately caused his breakdown. Sadly, Dr. Heffner's story is not unique, and we brought him on the podcast to hear his insights about how many surgeons struggle with PTSD.
