Jeffrey M Smith, MD, FACS, PCC

Meet Jeff

I am an orthopaedic trauma surgeon in San Diego, Director of Education and a surgeon coach with SurgeonMasters, and the fellowship director of Unite Orthopaedics Foundation.  

I have more than 500 hours of one-on-one surgeon coaching experience and 500+ hours of accredited coach training. 

You can find my thoughts about the practice of medicine in the SurgeonMasters blog and as the host of the SurgeonMasters Podcast, Life Improvement Strategies for the Surgeon Who Wants More… in 10 Minutes. I also frequently share my perspective in presentations on topics like surgeon wellness, surgeon coaching, and my experience with burnout.

Coaching Specialty: Practice Optimization, Wellness, Work-Life Rhythm
