Webinar Offers Advice on Navigating Adverse Patient Events

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.
