October 14, 2025

Surgical complications and adverse events are unavoidable realities in medical practice, but the emotional impact on surgeons often goes unspoken. All surgeons are invited to join a candid and compassionate 1-hour moderated discussion, October 23 at 3:30 pm CT, that sheds light on the often-overlooked emotional aftermath of surgical complications.  

This session, When Things Go Wrong, Who Can I Talk To? Support After an Adverse Event, will explore the vital role of peer support in helping surgeons navigate the path back to professional confidence and personal well-being. Learn how fostering a culture of empathy and connection can make a meaningful difference in the lives of surgical professionals. 

The webinar is hosted by the ACS Women in Surgery Committee.
