Episode 9: Transitioning out of surgery, self-care and boundaries with Dr. Victoria Silas

Dr. Victoria Silas is a pediatric orthopedic who is transitioning from her role as a surgeon to a coach. She has great advice for things you can do right now to enjoy your surgical career, extending the life of your surgical career, and transitioning out of surgery. Dr. Silas struggled with boundaries and her identity early in her career. She decided to become a coach through Martha Beck's program (fun fact- the author of this month's bookclub). This allowed her to continue in her career as she learned the lessons of putting herself in the equation and doing something for herself each day. She learned to focus on her identity outside of surgery, which helped her as she transitioned out of surgery.  She shares her thoughts on perfectionism, how she "wasn't perfect enough to be a perfectionist" and strategies she has for boundaries, and advice for those transitioning out of surgery (yes, everyone will be OK!).  She can be found at Medical Minds Consulting here or www,medicalmindsconsulting.com This episode is for you if: - You are thinking about transitioning out of surgery as your commitment runs it's course.  - You want to know more about tips to sustain your surgical career - You want to know more about coaching and thought work - You want to know more about boundaries  Find more information about BOSS here or www.BOSSsurgery.com
