Watching the Super Bowl always reminds us how much sport happens long before kickoff. Early mornings, missed games, long rehab days, and learning to trust your body again. That work doesn’t show up in the box score, but it’s the reason these athletes are here tonight. Who are you picking to win it all tonight?

Few experiences shape a surgeon more than learning from leaders who set the standard for excellence. We were fortunate to host Yan Chen, MD, PhD from China. His takeaways after visiting Dr. Millett are listed below:

"As my time at The Steadman Clinic comes to an end this week, I want to express my sincere gratitude for the opportunity to learn from you.

I have been truly inspired—not only by your pioneering work in shoulder surgery, but also by your precision, innovation, and unwavering dedication to advancing the field and educating surgeons worldwide. From advanced techniques in rotator cuff repair and shoulder instability management to your strategic approach to complex revision cases, I have gained invaluable knowledge.

When I return to China, I will apply what I have learned to better serve my patients and to share your teachings with my students and colleagues, ensuring your influence extends far beyond Vail.

"I recently had my right shoulder labrum repaired by Dr. Millett at the Steadman Clinic, and the entire experience—from the very first interaction with his staff to my in-person appointment—made it clear why I chose to come here rather than stay local.

From the beginning, Dr. Millett and his team took their time with me. They thoroughly explained my injury, the surgery procedure, what to expect during recovery, and every step in between. This was my first surgery, so I was definitely nervous, but their patience, professionalism, and kindness made me feel comfortable and fully confident in their care.

After the operation, the level of care continued. My overnight stay, the follow-up support, and the transition into physical therapy were all handled exceptionally well. The pain has been minimal, and I’ve felt supported at every stage.

I’m extremely satisfied with my experience and the outcome of the surgery. I’m now looking forward to a smooth, healthy recovery thanks to Dr. Millett and the amazing team at the Steadman Clinic." -Dragan Pupovac

One of the most rewarding parts of academic medicine is seeing former international visiting scholars thrive and lead.

Last weekend in Neuss, Germany it was a true pleasure to see orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Max Petri (Germany, 2014–2015) hosting an international orthopaedic trauma congress. He brought together former international visiting scholars, who worked with Dr. Millett, Drs. Simon Euler (Austria, 2015–2016) and Uli Spiegl (Germany, 2013–2014) as invited faculty.
