Foundations for Success in Orthopaedic Surgery: A Comprehensive Career Roadmap

As orthopaedic surgeons begin their career, they often find themselves underprepared for the critical practice management principles that are essential for success. This knowledge gap can be attributed to the limited focus on these principles during medical and surgical education.

Written by Dr. Heather A. Vallier, a renowned trauma surgeon and professor at Case Western Reserve University, Foundations for Success in Orthopaedic Surgery bridges this gap by providing a much-needed career roadmap for orthopaedic residents, fellows, and early- to mid-career surgeons in medical centers or individual practices.

• Lifelong learning and more in medicine and surgery

Practical Insights and Real-Life Experiences

The book features dozens of short, clearly written chapters that draw from Dr. Vallier’s and her professional colleagues’ personal experiences, observations, and stories regarding professional advancement, the business aspects of practice, and considerations for life outside of medicine.

A handy glossary and list of acronyms and abbreviations are also included, making it an invaluable resource for orthopaedic surgeons at all stages of their careers.
