Did you know that on each Operation Walk mission, our doctors share the most advanced knowledge of joint replacement surgery? Each team member teaches while working side-by-side with anesthetists, surgeons, internists, nurses in the operating room, on the floor or recovery room, in physical therapy, and during the central sterilization of instruments. During #teacherappreciationweek we recognize each of our volunteers for using their time and talents not only to help patients regain mobility but also for sharing their skill and knowledge with the colleagues around the world. #TeamworkTuesday

It's Friday and we love sharing feedback to end the week! This week's feedback comes from the project we did with The British Society for Dermatological Surgery (BSDS) to support medical professional development among doctors and nurses in the UK and worldwide. They delivered all their training face to face and wanted to move more towards eLearning to broaden their reach and make learning more accessible. Find out more about this project in the case study on our website - the link is in the comments. #healthcare #elearningdevelopment #bespokedesign #learningbydoing

What inspired me to become a heart surgeon? It all started with the fundamentals of what excites you. To truly enjoy the beauty of what you do, you must understand the mechanism behind it and be able to fix problems in real-time. The satisfaction I get from cardiac surgery comes from knowing that I can make a difference when something is dire and wrong. The training is long and hard, but the rewards are immense. The patients you operate on and the team you work with are amazing. Finding the right mentors and people to train you is crucial, no matter where you are in the world. It's about pushing yourself to find every nugget of excellence in what you do. #CardiacSurgery #Inspiration #MedicalTraining #Mentorship #Excellence

Do you know that many overlook the importance of strategic planning in surgical training? But, so is thinking surgery is only about hands-on practice. The best surgical trainees skip both of these mindsets. Instead, they balance intense practical training with strategic periods of focused learning. Because the moment you ignore planning, goal-setting, or reflection? Someone else steps up who hasn’t. Don’t be left behind. Be intentional. Be strategic. Be proactive. And be aware of how these approaches propel you forward. - - - - - - Join Beyond the Scrubs Waitlist It is a community that helps you enjoy life both in and out of your scrubs, where your job is only part of your story. https://lnkd.in/eUrtJRKZ

We dive deep into what it's really like pursuing a career in surgery. It is not for the faint hearted. It's a journey that demands resilience and passion! Dr. Renee shares some valuable advise for aspiring surgeons: aim for top grades in your prereqs, BUT remember, a 4.0 GPA isn't everything. Don't let anyone convince you that a less-than-perfect GPA spells the end of your dreams. Your path to becoming a surgeon isn't determined by one grade or a single setback. What are your thoughts on this? #premed #premedmotivation #medicalcareer #medicalcareers #futuredoc #futuredoctors #medschool #gpa #notperfect
