Abstract

[As an academic surgeon, it’s a life of variety—one can aim to master the art of surgery and patient care while also forging the cutting edge of science, dedicating time to mentor others, or working in hospital administration to change care delivery. To succeed in any of these capacities, however, a surgeon must strive for balance, both professionally and personally. Priorities often shift depending on the immediate demands of patients, self, family or others resulting in personal wellbeing often taking a backburner. In the text below, within the context of academic surgery, we will discuss aspects of personal wellness that we have found important through our own experiences or experiences documented by others.]
