In this special episode of The Scholars’ Podcast, we speak with Professor Fiona Wood AO, renowned burns surgeon, researcher and pioneer of the world-first ‘spray-on skin’ technique. Recognised for her extraordinary work supporting victims of the Bali bombings and as Australian of the Year in 2005, Fiona reflects on the experiences that have shaped her as both a surgeon and a leader.
In conversation with Dr Sam Brophy-Williams (2012 John Monash Scholar), Fiona shares her philosophy on innovation, resilience and why true leadership is built as much on fellowship as it is on determination.
This special episode is part of the 2024 John Monash Leadership Series.
