This is the first in our new "Companion" series, meant to offer a discussion on new topics and events. We are lucky enough to be joined by Drs. Kelly Vogt and Morad Hameed, both previous guests on the show.

In this episode we discuss the paper published in the CMAJ, "Relation between surgeon age and postoperative outcomes: a population-based cohort study" (https://www.cmaj.ca/content/192/15/E385).
