Bonus Episode from CANUCS Surgical Fellows Course: Morgan Schellenberg on Choosing Your First Surgical Job
Cold Steel: Canadian Journal of Surgery PodcastShow Notes
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. Morgan Schellenberg is a trauma and acute care surgeon who recently joined us back in Canada as a staff surgeon at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto. She lays out some very practical advice about one of the most important decisions we have to make at the end of the very long road of training: how to choose your first job! Dr. Schellenberg also has some really keen insights into working in the US versus Canada. As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback, so please email us at [email protected]. Bio:

Jeremy Heffner is a trauma and acute care surgeon at Lima Memorial Health System in Ohio. He is also the Chief Operating Officer of SurgeON, a social media company dedicated to surgeons. Heffner was also previously a bioengineer who worked at NIH. He has been incredibly open about his journey and struggles with PTSD as a surgeon, and how those struggles ultimately caused his breakdown. Sadly, Dr. Heffner's story is not unique, and we brought him on the podcast to hear his insights about how many surgeons struggle with PTSD.
