S7E5: Chief Insights: Dr. Bernadette Peltier
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On this episode of the WISER Podcast, we continue Chief Insights, our mini-series highlighting the experiences of Emory’s female chief general surgery residents. Through these conversations, we explore their paths to surgery, the mentors who shaped them, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">For this installment, WISER co-presidents Julia Burns and Rachel Holstein sat down with Dr. Bernadette Peltier. Dr. Peltier attended UT Southwestern for medical school and completed her general surgery residency at Emory, where she is currently serving as a chief resident. She will be heading to the Cleveland Clinic next year to begin her thoracic surgery fellowship.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this conversation, Dr. Peltier shares her nontraditional path into surgery, from initially considering internal medicine to discovering her passion during trauma rotations. She reflects on how she ultimately found her fit in thoracic surgery, the role of mentorship and advocacy in a competitive match process, and how she approached residency without taking dedicated research years. She also offers thoughtful advice for medical students and interns, emphasizing the importance of mastering the fundamentals of patient care, building strong relationships, and growing into your role over time. We also discuss her experience as a woman in surgery, the transition into chief year, and how she has found balance and support throughout training.</p> <figure class="wp-block-audio"><audio controls src="https://wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Dr.-Bernadette-Peltier.mp3"></audio></figure> <p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph">Editors: Julia Byrnes and Rachel Holstein <br>Producers: Julia Byrnes, Rachel Holstein and Vienna Wang<br>Hosts: Rachel Holstein and Julia Byrnes<br>Artwork: Lily Kamat<br>Music: Bluedot Sessions</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Facetune_22-09-2025-15-57-44.jpeg?w=640&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-2085"/></figure> </div> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_0042.jpeg?w=640&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-2086"/></figure> </div> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_8588-1.jpeg?w=640&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-2087"/></figure> </div><p>The post <a href="https://wiserpodcast.com/2026/04/08/s7e5-chief-insights-dr-bernadette-peltier/">S7E5: Chief Insights: Dr. Bernadette Peltier</a> first appeared on <a href="https://wiserpodcast.com">WISER Podcast</a>.</p>

S7E4: Chief Insights: Dr. Aileen Johnson
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On this episode of the WISER Podcast, we continue Chief Insights, our mini-series highlighting the experiences of Emory’s female chief general surgery residents. Through these conversations, we explore their paths to surgery, the mentors who shaped them, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">For this installment, WISER co-presidents Julia Byrnes and Rachel Holstein sat down with Dr. Aileen Johnson. Dr. Johnson attended MIT for undergraduate studies before earning her medical degree at Emory University School of Medicine and staying at Emory for general surgery residency. She is one of this year’s chief residents and will be pursuing a fellowship in abdominal transplant surgery at the University of Wisconsin next year.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this conversation, Dr. Johnson reflects on how her early experiences in EMS during college solidified her commitment to patient care, how mentorship shaped her journey into transplant surgery, and what she gained from taking three dedicated research years. She shares thoughtful advice on ownership in training, cultivating autonomy, and preparing for the responsibility of becoming “the surgeon.” We also discuss her experience as a woman in surgery, the culture of chief year, and the importance of showing up prepared, curious, and intentional at every stage of training.</p> <figure class="wp-block-audio"><audio controls src="https://wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/S7E3_-Chief-Insights_-Aileen-Johnson-MD.mp3"></audio></figure> <p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph">Editors: Rachel Holstein and Julia Byrnes <br>Producers: Julia Byrnes, Rachel Holstein and Amelia Fogle <br>Hosts: Rachel Holstein and Julia Byrnes<br>Artwork: Lily Kamat<br>Music: Bluedot Sessions</p> <figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="640" height="851" data-id="2058" src="https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BD58E496-2E92-4C4C-BD6B-6B97446D6FDE_1_105_c.jpeg?resize=640%2C851&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-2058" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BD58E496-2E92-4C4C-BD6B-6B97446D6FDE_1_105_c.jpeg?w=769&ssl=1 769w, https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BD58E496-2E92-4C4C-BD6B-6B97446D6FDE_1_105_c.jpeg?resize=226%2C300&ssl=1 226w, https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BD58E496-2E92-4C4C-BD6B-6B97446D6FDE_1_105_c.jpeg?resize=113%2C150&ssl=1 113w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></figure> </figure> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" width="640" height="853" src="https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG_2305.jpeg?resize=640%2C853&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-2062" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG_2305-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG_2305-scaled.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&ssl=1 225w, https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG_2305-scaled.jpeg?resize=113%2C150&ssl=1 113w, https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG_2305-scaled.jpeg?resize=1152%2C1536&ssl=1 1152w, https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG_2305-scaled.jpeg?resize=1536%2C2048&ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG_2305-scaled.jpeg?resize=1200%2C1600&ssl=1 1200w, https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG_2305-scaled.jpeg?w=1920&ssl=1 1920w, https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG_2305-scaled.jpeg?w=1280&ssl=1 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></figure> </div> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" width="640" height="480" src="https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG_1253.jpeg?resize=640%2C480&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-2060" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG_1253-scaled.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG_1253-scaled.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG_1253-scaled.jpeg?resize=150%2C113&ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG_1253-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG_1253-scaled.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1152&ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG_1253-scaled.jpeg?resize=2048%2C1536&ssl=1 2048w, https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG_1253-scaled.jpeg?w=1280&ssl=1 1280w, https://i0.wp.com/wiserpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG_1253-scaled.jpeg?w=1920&ssl=1 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></figure> </div> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p><p>The post <a href="https://wiserpodcast.com/2026/02/11/s7e4-chief-insights-dr-aileen-johnson/">S7E4: Chief Insights: Dr. Aileen Johnson</a> first appeared on <a href="https://wiserpodcast.com">WISER Podcast</a>.</p>
