Amit Pawa, MBBS, FRCA, is an internationally recognized leader in regional anesthesia and pain medicine whose passion for teaching is matched only by his knack for making complex concepts feel simple. As a professor and consultant anesthetist in London and past president of RA-UK, Amit has helped shape the way nerve blocks and ultrasound are practiced around the world. On the podcast, he brings equal parts expertise and wit — blending practical pearls, real-world stories, and the occasional laugh-out-loud moment. With Amit behind the mic, even the most technical topics feel approachable and engaging.

Jeff Gadsden, MD, is a regional anesthesia enthusiast, educator, and storyteller who believes that medicine doesn’t have to be dry to be meaningful. As Chief of Regional Anesthesiology and Acute Pain Medicine at Duke University, Jeff has spent his career teaching nerve blocks and ultrasound techniques to learners around the world. On the mic, he brings that same energy — mixing evidence-based insights with humor, curiosity, and the occasional bad dad joke. Whether he’s breaking down the latest techniques, swapping stories with expert guests, or translating complex science into practical pearls, Jeff’s goal is simple: to make regional anesthesia approachable, relevant, and (dare we say) fun.
