Surgery residents from all postgraduate year levels are invited by the Division of Education to participate in a special program designed to assist with planning for post-training careers and making the transition from training to practice. This special program is specifically designed to assist surgery residents with essential nonclinical issues they face during residency training and the transition period to their post-training career. The program will feature sessions on personal financial planning and debt management, job-seeking strategies and negotiation skills, and reduction of liability risks. Join residents from other programs and interact with experts who can share techniques for managing the residency experience more effectively and being better prepared for life after residency.
