Are you at a mid-career crossroads? While most individuals change careers several times in their lives, surgeons may feel stuck in their current clinical role. View our YFA webinar where mid-career surgeons who have successfully made a pivot will discuss their career decisions and progress.

Presenters: Simon Young, DDS, MD, PhD, FACS, and Mark Wong, DDS, FACD, FACS

While most surgeon-scientists likely started their journeys as MD/Ph.D. students, Dr. Young had a unique and unusual opportunity to combine an oral and maxillofacial surgery residency with a Ph.D. in bioengineering. He and his mentor Dr. Mark Wong discussed their mentoring experience and the advantages and disadvantages of this unique pathway.
