In his latest “Health Care Heart to Heart” podcast, now streaming, UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, MD, speaks with Joseph Khoury, MD. Dr. Khoury is the Stokes-Shackleford Professor and Chair of the UNMC Department of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology.
In the discussion, Dr. Khoury speaks about his journey into medicine.
“I still remember going into college not knowing what I wanted to do in life, and I knew I was attracted to the biological sciences,” he tells Dr. Gold. “So I picked biology as a major, but it took two years of taking pre-med courses, but really not being sure I wanted to do medicine as a career, before I had this kind of ‘moment.’
“What a great career that would be, where one can really help others in something as fundamental as their health. And somehow that thought never left my mind.”
He also discusses his new work with the World Health Organization.
“Health Care Heart to Heart” posts new podcasts every other week, as Dr. Gold speaks to national, regional and local health care leaders on issues of importance. On each new episode, Dr. Gold and his guests will share information, explore health care challenges and opportunities and leave listeners thinking about how they, too, can make a difference.
“Health Care Heart to Heart” episodes will be updated on the official podcast website and can be streamed on the following platforms: Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts.
