Introducing The Surgeon's Launch Pad, a program created specifically for graduating surgical residents and fellows actively looking for their first job.
My four-step framework that will save you time, reduce stress and ensures your success.
-
Identify your priorities: Define what matters to you. Your needs, goals and values set you apart and make you valuable. Knowing your priorities will guide your decisions and give you the confidence to move forward.
-
Interview Intentionally: Walk into each interview knowing what to ask and what to look for. You know what you need and can determine whether they can provide it. No games. No guessing.
-
Assess Opportunities: Distinguish between negotiables and dealbreakers. Make choices based on your priorities and goals for the future.
-
Negotiate for Lift off: Negotiate for what you need while building the relationship with your future employers. Emphasize your long term success.
The Surgeon's Launch Pad is for you if:
You are motivated to find a great job.
You are a graduating surgical residents and fellow.
You are currently interviewing for a job or comparing offers.
You do not have a dedicated mentor who can provide the extensive guidance throughout the search.
You are ready to put all the tools your have learned into practice and make your first job, your best job.
(Note: this program is not a substitute for hiring a lawyer or conducting a job search)
"I got my official contract today, I can't wait to start my dream job. I couldn't have done it without you "
Sharon L. Stein, MD FACS
I'm a surgeon & highly skilled coach.
As a colorectal surgeon, former program director, and founder/creator of a Resident Career Course, I know what it takes to launch a career successfully. I've helped 100's of residents manage this process and I'm ready to share all the tools with you. I’ve been where you are, and I love helping surgeons cut through the stress and uncertainty so they can step into their careers with confidence.
