About

Cameron J. Sabet, MS, MBA, MA is an MD candidate at Georgetown University School of Medicine and host of Cutting to the Case: Conversations in Ortho, an interview series to share insights from leaders across musculoskeletal surgery for trainees, including the President of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Editor-in-Chief of Orthobullets, Past President of the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, and Chair of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons. He is a Georgetown medical student and a Senior Collaborator at the Lancet Global Burden of Disease Initiative.

Cameron holds a BA/MA summa cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied Buddhist bioethics and management at the Wharton School. He later completed an MS in Financial Management and MBA at the Edinburgh Business School. His research focuses on surgical systems, frailty, and outcome disparities in orthopaedic trauma and spine care. He has authored 94 peer-reviewed publications with papers in Nature, BMJ, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

He currently serves as Co-Chair of Research for the Georgetown Orthopaedic Surgery Interest Group and Director of Orthopaedic Research at the Social Equity Action Lab, with ongoing multicenter collaborations on risk modeling, extended length of stay, and discharge planning after upper extremity and spinal surgery. His spine surgery outcomes work has been selected for presentation at national meetings including the Congress of Neurological Surgeons and the Medical Student Orthopaedic Society.

Sabet is the founder of Bone Academy, an iOS educational app offering 5,000+ orthopaedic questions, interactive quizzes, and multiplayer procedure-based games, as well as OrthoWise, the first artificial intelligence–powered simulator for orthopaedic clinical reasoning. He also developed the Sabet Orthopaedic Call Dashboard, a digital tool for trauma call management.

As a journalist, Cameron has written on healthcare equity and medical ethics in The Washington Post, The New York Times, Smithsonian Magazine, and The Hill, and holds a National Scientific Journalism Profile at The Smithsonian. He served as a U.S. Congressional Delegate for Representative Don Beyer (VA-08), co-authoring The Lancet 2025 U.S. Presidential Briefing Book. He has peer-reviewed for Nature, The Lancet, Annals of Internal Medicine, and BMJ, and is an Academic Editor at PLOS ONE.
