title: Learning from a leader: an interview with Dirk M. Elston, MD.
abstract: As residents, we all owe at least some of our knowledge base to the teachings of Dirk M. Elston, MD. I recently sat down with Dr. Elston to find out who the man is behind the work. Our discussion was both a humbling and enlightening experience for me. This interview serves to illustrate the human side of a current pioneer within our field and also to inspire our generation of emerging leaders.
