Mentoring new surgeons in private practice is complicated and can be intimidating. It can also be an incredibly rewarding experience for the mentor and the practice as a whole. Knowing how to talk about mentorship and having a mentorship plan or program gives you a recruitment advantage and improves your work place well-being at all levels. Learn about what new surgeons actually need, harnessing your experience, starting a mentorship program from scratch, weaving mentorship into a busy clinic schedule and more. You will walk away from the lecture with actionable steps to start mentoring tomorrow and a firm grasp on how to navigate road blocks. This lecture is for any surgeon in private practice that has hired, is hiring, or plans to hire a new surgeon (even one with experience) in the next 2 years. It is also for surgeons looking to understand more about how to improve and refine an existing mentorship arrangement that perhaps isn't working as well as it should right now.
