Celebrating Your Accomplishments with Orthopedic Surgeon Bonnie Gregory

Madam Athlete

On today’s episode, I’m talking to orthopedic surgeon Dr. Bonnie Gregory about celebrating your accomplishments.
Bonnie is an assistant professor of orthopedics at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston and a team physician for several teams including the Houston Dash and the Houston Rockets. She’s also a member of the Ruth Jackson Orthopaedics Society and part of the just 6% of orthopedic surgeons who are women. Throughout the interview, Bonnie shares with us how important celebrating your accomplishments can be because it gives us a moment away from focusing on what comes next and allows us to check in with our trajectory and make sure that it’s really in line with our mission and vision.
We talk about:

• Bonnie’s journey to discovering orthopedics and how there is almost no single correct path to a given career.
• How participating in leadership programs helped Bonnie discover her leadership style but also taught her the importance of understanding the rules of the game in order to break the ones that were no longer working.
• As a woman physician covering teams ranging from the NBA to high school football, Bonnie is helping to change perceptions of what a team physician looks like, opening the doors for a new generation of physicians who look, think, and speak more like the patients they serve.
