Welcome to BOSS Business of Surgery Series!

This program was specifically designed to help surgeons learn concepts not taught in residency but necessary for a successful surgery career.

We were not told that most of our job would be interacting with others. We thought it was about the technical success of surgery or the knowledge that we learn.

But it is so much more.

Difficult partners and colleagues.
Dealing with complications.
Negotiating with administration.
Running a successful and efficient clinic that doesn’t take bleed into our home life.
How to have a life outside of surgery

But if we don’t learn these concepts, we will end up in a negative spiral that will lead us into misery. And all of the time we spent training for the job we love, that could be so rewarding, is lost.

You know there has to be a solution out there. That you can’t be the only one unhappy or wondering if it is just you.

It’s time for a program that addresses your specific problems run by someone who knows what you are going through. You need a fellow surgeon who knows the way. You need a surgeon who has been where you are and found her way out to the other side:

-Loving surgery again
-Not taking work home
-finishing notes immediately after clinic and heading home on time
-Not letting complications set you back
-Interacting with others with confidence
-Finally seeing that you can control the results you get at work and home
