Listen to Dr. Allie in conversation with Dr. Bryan Hubbard as they speak on his view as a trauma surgeon in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the events following George Floyd\u2019s death.

Dr. Bryan Hubbard is a trauma surgeon in LA who was Born and raised in the Philadelphia area, attended Morehouse College in Atlanta for his Bachelor\u2019s Degree and received his MD Emory University in Atlanta.

During medical school, he decided to pursue a career in surgery and trauma and was interested in practicing in an underserved area.  He ended up in Los Angeles just after the civil unrest of the Rodney King verdict and started my career at the Martin Luther King-Drew Medical Center in Watts where he completed a general surgery residency. It solidified his desire to serve the underserved.

He is now a practicing acute care surgeon in the Los Angeles area, between two hospitals which serve two prominent underserved communities.  He\u2019s the Immediate past Chief of Staff of the Martin Luther King, JR Community Hospital where he\u2019s also the Medical Director of General Surgery. He currently serves in addition as Chair of the Department of Surgery for the Dignity Health California Hospital Medical Center in downtown Los Angeles.
