HEY, I’M JAKE WHITESIDE
I’m a father, medical student, and surgical researcher. I’m into a lot of things (read, too many things), but that doesn’t stop me from doing my best in all of them.
I’m excited about learning, teaching, and nerdery of all sorts. Family comes first! Right now you’ll find my 7-year old and I playing Pandemic; I know, I know.
Let’s connect! I have lots to say about surgical education, brain-computer interface, productivity, wellness, video games, children, and deep-sea creatures.
What's Up With Me?
-
I’m serving on the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) guidelines committee, helping to put together high-quality guidelines for when and how to perform certain procedures.
Before school started, I worked in the IU School of Medicine’s department of surgery as a surgical education researcher. I explored new technologies, including brain-computer interface to augment surgical suturing skills for new learners.
-
I’m a member IU School of Medicine’s M.D. class of 2023 (yay!). I promise to be a doctor worth trusting.
-
Honored to serve in the US Air Force, as a member of the Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP). I promise to serve our country well!
