We’re really excited to bring you talks that we recorded as part of the CANUCS Surgical Fellows course. CANUCS is a national organization that stands for Canadian collaborative on urgent care surgery. Dr. Chad Ball and Kelly Vogt were instrumental in bringing together some really fantastic speakers to talk about the critical knowledge and skills that surround obtaining a staff job, as well as being successful both personally and professionally in a demanding career. Dr. Ashlie Nadler is an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto and practices at Sunnybrook Hospital. She has unique training in both acute care surgery as well as surgical oncology. In this talk, she examines the adage of being “Available, Affable, and Able” as a mantra for success in a surgical career.
