The International College of Surgeons - United States Section presents...

Physician Wellness and Ethics

A surgeon’s life is typically very hectic. The day-to-day stress of the profession can expedite burn-out and cause other health issues as well. In this educational offering, participants will learn about several approaches to physician well-being. In addition, a primer on retirement planning will be included for both younger and more senior surgeons. Finally, as part of our  effort to include ethics related programming a discussion of the ethics of a pandemic will be presented. Upon completion of this course the learner will have a better understanding of these issues and obtain information that can be implemented into practice.
