Rotation Information

The goal of this rotation is for students planning surgical careers to work 1:1 with female mentors, learning not only the clinical side of the surgical specialty but also the leadership approach, patient/clinical management, and career development considerations for female surgical staff.

After this rotation, the student will be able to:

• Describe differing leadership styles and identify pros and cons of these leadership styles, specifically for surgeons
• Understand how an effective leadership approach may differ based on environment, including clinical (office versus OR) and non-clinical (research, committees, community outreach)scenarios
• Reflect on their own current leadership style, and understand the importance of continued self-reflection during ongoing medical training and practice
• Collect an initial reference list of articles and books focusing on leadership, career development, and wellness so these items can be available and expanded upon for future use
• Expand their medical knowledge, clinical and operative decision making, and clinical and operative skills for sub-specialty surgical patients they encounter on service
