In this week’s episode Dr Ed shares his journey from medical school to becoming a surgeon in the military. We delve into life as a trainee and the realisation of no longer enjoying a surgical career. Ed shares his own personal journey with tinnitus and the military patients he met suffering from the same condition who needed help. We talk about the founding story of Oto, a CBT app to help patients with tinnitus take control through self-therapy. Ed shares how we got onto the prestigious Y-combinator with a last minute application. We hear the difficulties and barriers he faced so far in his journey, sharing tips and advice for future clinical entrepreneurs.
Dr Edmund Farrar is the CEO and co-founder of Oto, with an interest in digital self-therapy for overlooked & underserved chronic conditions. Ed is a NHS clinical entrepreneur, and a core surgical trainee in the RAF.
