Description
In this inspiring and candid session, we sat down with two of the true giants of orthopedics and sports medicine: Professor Gino Kerkhoffs, internationally recognized for his work on ankle injuries and osteochondral defects, and Professor Andrea Ferretti, a renowned expert with decades of experience caring for elite athletes and national teams. Your hosts—Feriel Dalansi, Post-Graduate Researcher at Aspetar/PhD candidate at Amsterdam UMC, and Christian Moen, Physiotherapist and PhD student at the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center—led a thought-provoking conversation that blended science, clinical insight, and personal values.
The session covered pivotal moments in their careers, the art of leadership under pressure, and the evolution of evidence-based practice in high-performance sport. But what truly stood out was their emphasis on putting family first, even while managing elite-level responsibilities. They also highlighted the central role of diagnosis in clinical excellence, and the need to stay passionate and enthusiastic throughout the journey—no matter how demanding the path.
Whether you're an aspiring clinician, researcher, or leader, their honesty and wisdom offer real-world lessons that go far beyond the clinic. This is a conversation not to be missed-STAY TUNED!
