Martin Adel "Marty" Makary is an American surgeon, professor, and author. He practices surgical oncology and gastrointestinal laparoscopic surgery at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, is Mark Ravitch Chair in Gastrointestinal Surgery at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and teaches public health policy as Professor of Surgery and Public Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Makary is an advocate for disruptive innovation in medicine and physician-led initiatives such as The Surgical Checklist, which he developed at Johns Hopkins, and was later popularized in Atul Gawande's best-selling book The Checklist Manifesto.[1] Makary was named one of the most influential people in healthcare by Health magazine.[2] In 2018, Makary was elected to the National Academy of Medicine.[3]

Education[]

Makary was born in Liverpool, England and moved to Baltimore as a young child. His family later moved to Danville, Pennsylvania when his father took a job as a hematologist at the Geisinger Medical Center. Makary holds degrees from Bucknell University, Thomas Jefferson University and Harvard University. Makary was president of the student body at Harvard, and later served on the alumni board. He completed a Masters of Public Health (M.P.H.) degree, with a concentration in Health Policy.

Professional career[]

Makary completed a surgical residency at Georgetown University[4] in Washington D.C. where he also worked as a writer for The Advisory Board Company. Makary completed sub-specialty surgery training at Johns Hopkins in surgical oncology and gastrointestinal surgery under surgeon John Cameron, before joining Cameron's faculty practice as a partner.[5] In his first few years on the faculty at Johns Hopkins, Makary researched and wrote articles on the prevention of surgical complications.[6] He published on frailty[7] as a medical condition, and on safety and teamwork culture in medicine. Makary is the first author of the original scientific publications describing "The Surgery Checklist".[8] Makary worked with the World Health Organization[9] to develop the official World Health Organization Surgical Checklist.[1] For his contributions to the field of medicine, Makary was named Mark Ravitch Chair in Gastrointestinal Surgery, an endowed chair at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, becoming the youngest endowed chair recipient at the time at the university. Three years later, he was named the Credentials Chair and Director of Quality and Safety for Surgery at Johns Hopkins.[4] In 2020, Makary was named Editor-in-Chief of MedPage Today.

Makary is a pancreatic surgeon and has pioneered novel surgical procedures. He was awarded the Nobility in Science Award by the National Pancreas Foundation for performing the world's first series of laparoscopic pancreas islet transplant operations.[10] He has traveled with his international team overseas.[11] Makary specializes in advanced laparoscopic surgery and performed the first laparoscopic Whipple surgery at Johns Hopkins and the first laparoscopic Frey procedure for pancreatitis.[12][13] He is also Professor of Surgery and Public Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Makary's research led to several partnerships, including a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research, to study obesity treatment,[14] and a grant from the same agency to implement safety programs at 100 U.S. hospitals, a project he collaborated on with Peter Pronovost and the American College of Surgeons. Makary was also the lead author in the original paper introducing a Hospital Survey of Patient Safety Culture.[15]

He has written for The Wall Street Journal,[16] USA Today, TIME, Newsweek,[17] and CNN,[18] and appears on NBC and Fox News.[19]

Makary has also called for the public reporting physician-endorsed quality measures by hospitals.[20][21] He and Bryan Sexton have encouraged hundreds of hospitals to take the "Culture of Safety Survey" and make their results available to their communities. Makary also advocates for price transparency and has led efforts to ask hospitals to stop suing their low-income patients.[22]

In 2016, Makary and his colleagues exposed loopholes in the Orphan Drug Act accounting for higher drug pricing. His article "The Orphan Drug Act: Restoring the Mission to Rare Diseases",[23] covered by Kaiser Heath News,[24] led Senator Grassley's office to announce an investigation[25] into the problem.

Books[]

Makary is the author of the New York Times Best Selling book Unaccountable,[26][27] in which he proposes that common sense, physician-led solutions can fix the healthcare system. The book was turned into the popular TV series, The Resident,[28] which aired on Fox in 2018. Makary is also the author of Mama Maggie[29] a personal story about his Aunt, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee working in the garbage slums of Cairo. His latest book,[30]The Price We Pay, was released in 2018 and describes how business leaders can lower their health care costs and explores the grass-roots movement to restore medicine to its noble mission. Makary is also the editor of the surgery textbook "General Surgery Review".[31]

Awards and recognition[]

Makary is the recipient of numerous research and teaching awards, including the Best Teacher Award for Georgetown Medical School[11] and research awards from the Washington Academy of Surgery and the New England Surgical Society. He has been a visiting professor at over 30 U.S. medical schools and lectures frequently on innovation in health care.[32] In 2018, he was elected to the National Academy of Medicine.[33]
