BOBBY CHHABRA: My name is Bobby Chhabra. I'm a hand, wrist, elbow surgeon at the University of Virginia in the Department of Orthopedics. I became drawn to hand surgery, because some of the most complex anatomy in the body is in the hand. And I truly was fascinated by the anatomy and the intricate intricacies of the function of the hand and how preserving that anatomy and fixing problems related to that anatomy could help improve someone's overall function. 

My biggest areas of interest is congenital hand surgery, so babies who are born with congenital hand differences and problems. I have fellowship training in that area, and it is one of the most gratifying parts of my practice. I've been at the University of Virginia for 25 years, from medical school, from training, and I chose to come back here on faculty, because of the high level of care provided, the level of collaboration among the people who work here, and the opportunities to teach the next generation of physicians. 

Making a difference in not only the people you treat for clinical problems, but having an impact on future doctors and trying to mentor them and be a good role model to them during these very difficult changing times in health care is a challenge. But if you're committed to it, like my faculty are, and so many faculty here at the University of Virginia, we're really going to make a difference in the future in terms of training people, so that they can provide the best quality of care to me and to my family members and my grandkids and to future generations.
