About this title

From the Back Cover:

From the surgery clerkship, through residency, fellowship and clinical practice, surgeons learn from each other both formally and informally. Each generation follows in the footsteps of the last, while also blazing new trails in the hopes of improving patient care. Surgical Mentoring: Building Tomorrow’s Leaders provides practical guidance for all surgeons, in training and in practice, about the pedagogical, clinical, and personal benefits of having and being a mentor. The authors span the gamut of practice to provide a well-rounded perspective: a practicing and seasoned surgeon with more than 35 years of experience of being mentored and being a mentor; a practicing surgeon who is also an experienced surgical residency director, and a surgical resident in the “clinical trenches” of daily learning and patient care. From the foreword: “Drs. Rombeau, Goldberg, and Loveland-Jones have written this book on surgical mentoring to fill an obvious need. It is up-to-date, comprehensive, readable, and evidence-based ...
