The SAGES Manual Transitioning to Practice
Success in the surgical field depends on many factors. The most important factors are skill and knowledge in the operating room and experience in taking care of patients. Our residency programs do an excellent job in teaching residents and fellows these skills. The other half of success comes from excelling in the business of being a surgeon.
The average time a surgeon spends at their first job coming out of training has dropped to 2 years. This manual is aimed at educating those entering the surgical job market to the business side of being a surgeon. Our goal is to increase the knowledge of those who are seeking a job and help them understand the environment they are entering, and maximize their chances of success.
