Oliver L. Yeh, M.D., serves as the Medical Director of Ophthalmology, Canyons Region, Intermountain Health. As a practicing ophthalmologist, he found that per prior national surveys, nearly half of his colleagues are afflicted by neck and back pain due to the positioning at the operating microscope and in clinic. He worked with other physician leaders of Intermountain's Surgical Services who also recognized the critical need for ergonomics training.
These discussions inspired Dr. Yeh to contact Olivier Girard to develop a course that taught ergonomics to physicians, surgeons, and all caregivers in healthcare.
