Meghan Combs has always had an interest in the science of medicine, as well as the business aspect of the healthcare industry. She recently finished a one-year research fellowship at the University of Chicago, where she learned to utilize group thinking and novel investigative techniques to elucidate the efficiency, both in execution, as well as through monetary, supply chain and human capital of surgical techniques.
Dr. Combs’ role was to curate the surgeries and act as liaison between the operating room staff and graduate students. Due to experience, she was able to develop survey and data analysis of key stakeholders for the various specialties within the department of surgery. All of her findings were presented to senior-level management officers.
As a trained Medical Doctor, Dr. Combs is extremely knowledgeable about medicine, pathology and skills such as surgical technique and diagnostics.
