Join Marney Reid and Drs. Elizabeth Lieberman, Carl Herndon and AJ Rush III as they discuss when and how to implement something new to your practice, whether this is a new surgical approach or a technology/product that they feel will help enhance with patient care. These three early career surgeon leaders representing different Orthopaedic subspecialties, locations, and practice models share best practices and lessons learned on their practice building journeys.
Elizabeth Lieberman
Clinical Associate, Orthopaedic and Fracture Specialists
Lizzie Lieberman is a hip and knee replacement surgeon in private practice in Portland, Oregon. She went into joint replacement surgery because she loved the predictability of the surgeries and outcomes. However, she also understands that if we don’t constantly stretch beyond our familiar comfort zones we will fail to progress or grow.
Dr. Lieberman completed her fellowship in 2020 and entered practice during a time when standard practice had been thrown out the window. She took this opportunity to grow a busy practice and implement protocols including a highly successful same-day discharge protocol, which had not previously been done in the group she was working with.
Two years into practice, an opportunity came about to change jobs and she took the leap, changing from an academic position to private practice. In her first four years of clinical practice, she has learned a lot about how and why it’s important to incorporate new protocols, procedures, and technologies into practice and is excited to discuss this topic!

Carl Herndon, MD
Assistant Professor, Department of Orthopedic Surgery
Division of Hip and Knee Replacement at Columbia University Medical Center
Dr. Carl L. Herndon specializes in advanced hip and knee reconstruction at Columbia University in New York. As a clinician, educator, and researcher, he constantly strives to provide the best possible outcomes for his patients using the latest technology. As a faculty member at one of the country's leading academic medical centers, Dr. Herndon has seen many different technologies and techniques come and go. His method for assessing and implementing anything new in his practice comes from an evidence-based approach, and what will fit well for his patients, his support team, and must create an improvement in the existing process and care pathways.
Dr. Herndon brings this outlook and enthusiasm into all areas of patient care, research, and the projects he gets involved with at his institution and with industry partners.
