Dr. Chris Hills on Orthopedics, Service, and Building Resilience Beyond Medicine
Summary
- Service shapes skill. Military medicine offers unparalleled training and perspective—preparing physicians for both clinical and leadership roles.
- Balance prevents burnout. Sustaining decades in medicine requires drawing boundaries, honoring family, and enjoying the place you live.
- Resilience is teachable. Youth can thrive when given mentors, meaningful outlets, and community—sometimes found in unexpected places, like dirt bikes.
