This episode was recorded prior to the COVID-19 pandemic as part of our collaborative series with the Society for Vascular Surgery Young Surgeons Advisory Committee. Nicole Rich and Sharif Ellozy talk with Dr. Misty Humphries and Dr. Gregory Magee about what they did, or wish they had done, during training to help them establish their practices as young vascular surgeons.
Our hope is that this episode will inspire fellow colleagues and trainees to reflect on developing their own personal mission, vision, and values statements. What skills can you develop to see your professional goals come to fruition? Who can you connect with that may be or become an important mentor or sponsor?
