New to the Saturday line-up this year is a special session on “Practice Management” as well as a special panel on “Striving for Longevity in a Surgical Career” addressing work life balance, institutional expectations, career possibilities outside of surgery, and surgical ergonomics. The SCCACS is proud to offer this new meeting component because we know that supporting the success of soon-to-be and new surgeons strengthens the future of all surgical specialties. Come learn how surgeons can succeed in a changing health care environment.
Despite many years of clinical training, many young surgeons aren’t provided with sufficient education in several key areas of career development. Please join us on Saturday, January 21, 2023.
