The main topic of this webinar is how to become a leader at your own institution. Doctors have many things to do during their working days, such as enroll patients, prepare talks for learners, and plan new projects. Leadership is not an innate skill; all skills can be taught. The main issue is that we need to lead in very different situations. Doctors can play different roles depending on when they are working: they can be a clinician, an administrator, an educator, or a researcher. That is the main reason why they are considered multidisciplinary. The rewards that really motivate people to lead are influencing policy, being able to inspire others, share their point, and change part of our world. Feeling valued and feeling that you have earnt your position are further movitations. Leadership has five dimensions: self-management, relationships with 1 others, handling tasks, innovation, and social responsibility. The talk ends with some tips about how to successfully develop your leadership skills.

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.
