Scrubs to Startups | How Alyssa Ellis Built Beyond Assisting While Working in the OR

Most clinicians spend years mastering what happens inside the OR. Few talk about what's possible outside of it. Scrubs to Startups is a podcast for surgical professionals who are building something beyond the bedside, a business, a brand, a movement, or a new chapter entirely. Each episode is a candid conversation with a clinician who made the leap: what drove them there, what the hard part actually looked like, and what they know now that they wish they'd known sooner. OUR GUEST Alyssa Ellis, CSFA is a surgical first assist, educator, and founder of https://www.beyondassisting.com/, one of the fastest growing educational platforms for surgical professionals. What began as sharing practical OR tips on social media has grown into a thriving business featuring an educational app, children's books introducing careers in the operating room, online resources, and a community reaching hundreds of thousands of healthcare professionals. Alyssa shares how she transformed nearly two decades of OR experience into a mission focused on education, mentorship, and helping the next generation succeed. New episodes drop monthly.
