Who Are SurgeonMasters?
SurgeonMasters are medical professionals dedicated to improving surgeons’ well-being, practice performance, and patient outcomes. Centering on strategies and techniques overlooked or underemphasized in traditional medical training, this community empowers surgeons to cultivate a thriving, lifestyle-friendly practice contributing to personal and professional excellence.
With a vast array of resources, including physician coaching, advocacy blogs and podcasts, health and exercise guidance, and resilience training, SurgeonMasters provides a supportive, nonjudgmental, and enriching environment for self-development. Here, practicing surgeons can evaluate their current practices, create short- and long-term goals, refine their focus and self-inquiry, manage stress and frustration, and develop strong relationships with their peers.
The SurgeonMasters community was developed by Jeffrey M. Smith, MD, FACS, CPC, a practicing orthopaedic trauma surgeon, physician coach, and inspirational speaker. Email Jeff to learn more about his wellness philosophy, vision, and principles of personal and professional development.
