Aaron Relic, DO MBA
I am the program director of Oklahoma State University’s Anesthesiology Residency.
I believe that physicians should take on the responsibility of leadership in healthcare and in their communities. Medical school today teaches you the requisite knowledge and skills to be a good physician, but it totally fails in preparing you to run a practice, manage a team, or succeed in life.
This blog is my thoughts on important topics I’ve learned through business training, reading for personal and professional development, leading teams, and being a part of a private practice. My hope is that physicians and others will read this and become inspired to take ownership of leading where they are.
I plan to post about once each week on topics of Leadership, Organizational Health, The Business of Medicine, Finance, Personal and Professional Development, and the occasional random topic. Please subscribe and leave comments.
BIOGRAPHY
I am a board-certified Anesthesiologist living in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I have been program director of the residency here since 2021. I completed my Residency at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia in 2018 after completing Medical School at Oklahoma State in Tulsa in 2014.
I started developing an interest in business and leadership after completing my MBA from OSU in 2010. The MBA helped teach me the language, but I have learned so much more by reading and searching on my own. My goal is to share the most beneficial things I’ve learned that I wish I would have known coming out of med school.
I’ve been married to my beautiful wife Micah, an OB/GYN, for almost 14 years. We share a 3-year-old daughter Isla together. Most of our free time is spent with her, but we also love travel and food. We have been sucked into the Peloton community. I’m currently training for a half-marathon, the longest I will have run to date by far. I also read fantasy novels for fun. My favorite author by far is Brandon Sanderson.
