Regents Discuss New ACS Framework on Workplace Standards

To help support sustainable surgical careers, the ACS recently released a framework of workplace standards that can be customized by surgical discipline. The latest episode of The House of Surgery podcast features Dr. Douglas E. Wood, Vice-Chair of the ACS Board of Regents, and Regent Dr. Philip R. Wolinsky discussing the standards, as well as new ACS resources on surgeon unionization. Note: A special session on this topic will be held on Sunday during Clinical Congress.
