A podcast built around the human experience
At Cook Medical, innovation has never started with a device. It starts with a person — a clinician navigating a complex case, a patient hoping for a faster recovery, a healthcare system searching for smarter solutions. Prepped and Draped is an extension of that philosophy.
Each episode brings together clinicians, innovators, and healthcare partners for candid conversations about advancing patient care and the people behind those advances. From emerging techniques and clinical insights to the broader forces reshaping how we care for patients, the podcast is designed to spark the kind of dialogue that drives meaningful change.
“We believe the best ideas in medicine come from listening to clinicians, to the people on the front lines every day. This podcast is our way of amplifying those voices and creating a space where the healthcare community can learn from one another.”
–Dr. John Kaufman, Chief Medical Officer, Cook Medical

Whether you’re a physician, advanced practice provider, nurse, healthcare administrator, or simply someone passionate about the future of medicine, Prepped and Draped is your invitation to be part of the conversation.
