A surgeon’s journey with Taylor Swift

Join us as we sit down with Andrea L. Merrill, an assistant professor of surgery, to explore the powerful intersection of music and surgery. From her early days as a trainee to navigating the challenges of being a female surgeon, Andrea shares how Taylor Swift’s music has been a constant source of inspiration and empowerment throughout her journey. Discover how her unique playlist choices in the operating room reflect her personal growth, resilience, and unwavering dedication to patient care. Join us as we delve into the deeper connections between music, identity, and the surgical profession.

Andrea L. Merrill is an assistant professor of surgery at the Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine and a surgical oncologist at Boston Medical Center. She can be reached at Scrubbed Out, on Instagram @anjlm and @scrubbedoutsurgeon and X @AndreaLMerrill.
