The Physicians in Conversation event hosted by the Columbus Medical Association featuring PLA instructor, acute care surgeon, and author Dr. Danny Eiferman was a success!

Dozens of physicians gathered on April 20, 2026, at the event designed for physicians early in practice, new to the community, and all those interested in building connection.

The evening featured a brief reading and moderated discussion with Dr. Eiferman about his new book, Cut Open, which focuses on the realities of surgical practice, the emotional weight of complications, and the healing power of community. See photos from the event here.

Cut Open is available for purchase in hardcover, paperback, and e-book at most major retailers. You may also purchase the audio book, read by Dr. Eiferman, on Amazon here. 

Dr. Eiferman was also featured on the PLA Podcast discussing his book--listen here.
