A Trauma Surgeon in LA on COVID-19 and Racism

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’s 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’s 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’s the Immediate past Chief of Staff of the Martin Luther King, JR Community Hospital where he’s 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.

When he’s not taking care of gunshots and appendicitis, he enjoys spending time with his wife and 3 children

Dr. Hubbard is an avid amateur photographer, drone pilot and frustrated writer.
