“Everything Your Mom Forgot to Tell You About the Real World”

In the following opinion articles, Dr. Fred Tibayan and Dr. Peter Ellman provide a list of 10 things they wish they would have known before starting practice in academic and private practice, respectively. Although it is generally known how to succeed during surgical training, advice on the next stage of a surgeon’s career (e.g. finding a job, developing relationships, work balance) are infrequently discussed.
