The doctor will see you…eventually | Viet Tran | TEDxHobart

Our Emergency Departments are overcrowded and unsafe. But they don’t have to be…and you are key to the solution. Associate Professor Viet Tran is an emergency physician, researcher, educator and strong patient advocate. He is founder and director of the TASER (Tasmanian Emergency Medicine Research) Institute, chair of the Tasmanian Emergency Departments Network and Discipline lead for Emergency Medicine at the University of Tasmania. Throughout his career, Associate Professor Tran has directly cared for over 30,000 patients, striving to deliver excellence in patient care through a patient-centered, evidence-based and data-driven approach. His care, research, education and advocacy seeks to impact even more people by empowering patients, clinicians and leaders to understand how they can be a positive influence at an individual level, systems level and everywhere in between. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
