In this episode, I am joined by our esteemed guest, Dr. Jeff Pettey, MD MBA who serves as the vice chair of education and associate professor at the University of Utah Department of Ophthalmology. His love for Utah shines through in his academic journey where he obtained his BA from the University of Utah. And while he got his medical degree from the Ohio state university college of medicine he decided to return back to the university of Utah to complete his residency in ophthalmology where he also completed his executive MBA and fellowship training in anterior segment. Dr. Pettey specializes in complex cataract surgery and complex anterior segment surgery. He is prominently known for his health policy and international outreach work in ophthalmology. He lectures nationally and internationally on cataract surgery and global ophthalmology. In 2017, Dr. Pettey was awarded with the Artemis Award in recognition for his international and local work.
