#52: "Failing Forward: A Poor Career Decision...and How I Recovered"
Share
"Failing Forward" was a recently presented panel discussion at the Academic Surgical Congress. Dr. Justin Dimick and Dr. Dorry Segev moderate this excellent panel of top surgeons (listed below) who discuss a specific example of failure and how they recovered through persistence and dedication.
Any surgeon, junior or senior, will appreciate this candid look how today's successful surgeons thrived in the face of diversity. Very inspiring and motivating!
Panel members in order of presentation: Drs. Timothy Pawlik, Michael Englesbe, Melina Kibbe, Mary Hawn, Keith Lillemoe, and Carla Pugh.
Enjoy and thank you to everyone for allowing us to publish this great talk!
