Overcoming Obstacles to Practice
As one’s surgical career evolves, there are challenges and circumstances to
navigate at every stage. The mid-career surgeon is now accomplished in
clinical skills, but other aspects of their practice may still be in flux. Mid-
career surgeons may find themselves starting at a new position/institution,
evolving leadership roles, facing challenges in diversity, managing
education and trainees, or identifying mentors to help guide one’s career.
This program is sponsored by the Young Fellows Association (YFA) of the
American College of Surgeons. It will focus on unique challenges for
surgeons entering the mid-career stage. While most programs focus on new
practicing surgeons, this program will focus on the unique concerns of mid-
career surgeons.
Please join us for a thoughtful and interactive discussion of the obstacles
that mid-career surgeons need to overcome during this stage in their
professional lives.
