ASHOK GAVASKAR: Hi, this is Dr. Ashok Gavaskar, and I'll speak to you about some of the professional challenges that might be facing an orthopedic surgeon and ways to overcome it predominantly from my own perspective. If you look at highly successful orthopedic surgeons, they tend to be typically busy, they are highly motivated,
ASHOK GAVASKAR: they publish a lot and overall they are an happy bunch. So as an orthopedic surgeon, how do you get there? In your professional career, you will have to overcome a lot of challenges and obstacles if you want to become an happy, at the same time, highly successful orthopedic surgeon. And at the end of the day, do not forget that success doesn't define happiness, but it is the other way around.
ASHOK GAVASKAR: So it all starts with new residency where you learn the core fundamentals in orthopedic surgery. It does tend to be rigorous, sequentially structured and of course, extremely monitored, and this is the time you need to gear up for your professional career. And how do you do that? Publications are a great way to do it.
ASHOK GAVASKAR: You can present at major conferences. It is important to have a mentor and this guy, Doctor Rasheen is my mentor, he's a spine surgeon but I don't do spine surgery. It doesn't matter. Mentor can be anyone who can influence and inspire you. Get the help of associations which can give you a lot of opportunities to present and publish.
ASHOK GAVASKAR: Internet is the vast sea of knowledge, make good use of it. And of course, if you are going to look at opportunities at the west, make sure you get prepared for it. But remember, all these things should not come at the expense of your surgical training. You got to be a surgeon first, so do not ignore your surgical training during this period.
ASHOK GAVASKAR: So once your post residency, you have to remember that you are still not a complete package. The first thing is do no harm to your patients and at the same time, do not subject yourself to harm as well. You can't look for good training opportunities at this point of time, which are extremely limited and competitive and requires a lot of preparation. That is why preparing during residency is extremely important if you want to avoid wasting time.
ASHOK GAVASKAR: Definitely do a lot of research on your fellowship opportunities, especially if you're going to commit to one for a long time. Do not get stuck at a facility where you don't get the right amount of training that you intended to. There are a lot of long term fellowship opportunities which probably work the best, but if you want to get there, you need to focus on something that matters.
ASHOK GAVASKAR: Of course, if you have got trained in a premier institution, it does help a lot, if you have good references, who can vouch for your surgical skills and attitude, it is great. Focus on publications, you ought to have a keen research interest and write a good letter of intent. Develop your language and communication skills,
ASHOK GAVASKAR: and if you have won some awards or honours, it would work great. Take use of society memberships if they can offer you short term fellowship opportunities, if you don't get a long term fellowship opportunity at a good center. Also, if you are going to sort of pursue training in the west, some entrance examinations might be important as well, and that might require a long preparation. So if you are going to sort of apply for a long term fellowship, you make sure that you mail your program director directly and do not use any carbon copies. Weigh your words carefully, be clear of your goals and elaborate how you intend to get there. If you don't get long term fellowships,
ASHOK GAVASKAR: as I said, short term fellowships or observerships are a good way to start, build up your CV and then you can probably apply for a better one. If you can, if you, if your referees can directly email the fellowship directors, it works brilliant, and as I said, write a good letter of intent, it is given a lot of weightage. So other possible training opportunities include short term training.
ASHOK GAVASKAR: And where would they exactly fit? And as I said, they are short terms, so it is typically a few weeks or even less than 3 to six months. Since it is short term, they're limited, the knowledge transfer is extremely limited because you don't get integrated into the team. They are often self funded, but they work great for practicing surgeons who can't spend a lot of time away from the practice
ASHOK GAVASKAR: so if you got into your practice, then short term fellowship training work great and this is where the role of associations come into play. These associations give you a lot of short term fellowships that you can probably get into and make a start, build your network and then pursue long term training. So once you've gone through your training period, you got to make decisions on which way to take in your professional career.
ASHOK GAVASKAR: You can become an academic surgeon, you can enter into a public health setup or a Medical College where you can kind of develop your practice over a period of time. You may not earn a lot, but it will still be a satisfying job to train young people. If you have the capability, you can become an entrepreneur, especially in a country like India, where a lot of health care is privatized.
ASHOK GAVASKAR: But most of us cannot do that and often most people will end up in a private practice. So whatever you do, either or whatever way you take, make sure you visualize your entire career before taking career important decisions. So when you are entering a professional career from training, during the transition, you will face a lot of personal and professional challenges. I understand that your strongest negotiation leverage will be when you are getting recruited into a private practice.
ASHOK GAVASKAR: So know your location where you are going to practice, whether it is amenable for long term practice, know whether you fit into a team which you are going to get in. Investigate those practices for long term benefits. Always have a clear entrance and exit strategy and do not sign long term contracts. Do develop your and rely on your support network, understand that outcomes will definitely matter in your surgical practice and there is no substitute for experience. As you go on
ASHOK GAVASKAR: it will definitely get better and better. So how to build a patient base. Availability still remains the most effective tool. Announce yourself. It is ethical to announce yourself as you enter practice. Know your fit to the community, develop a strong digital presence, attend events in the local area, and also develop a good rapport with referring physicians and surgeons.
ASHOK GAVASKAR: Remember, it is not your surgical skills, but interpersonal skills that will build your practice in the long term. So once you have entered into your practice, also consolidated patients remain the key, they are the ones who define you, they will bring you more patients, Develop good personal integrity, make sound decisions, and tend to work within solid indications.
ASHOK GAVASKAR: Know, understand what you can do and what you cannot do and know when to refer and always exercise humility. Pure recognition can help you in a long way. Some of my senior surgeons who helped me get kind of personal identity over a period of time, and that has immensely helped me in building and consolidating my practice as well. They provided me an opportunity at various platforms to showcase my work.
ASHOK GAVASKAR: It is important to sell yourself as a group because it gives you great leverage. It helps you to focus on subspecialty care, help you to show commitment to education, and also minimize your stress levels. You can brand and position yourself much better, and importantly, it gives you time for academics, friends and family.
ASHOK GAVASKAR: In your professional career, you will go through a lot of ethical challenges, especially in orthopedics, where industry presence is great. So when you are adopting newer technology from the industry, be careful so that you don't jump in without proper homework. At the same time, do not be a laggard, dismissing every technology as not useful. This is not going to help you.
ASHOK GAVASKAR: So you got to be somebody who can do proper homework and adopt promising technologies which can give you good market differentiator. Advertising, be careful and ethical, because if we don't regulate ourselves, someone else is going to do it for us. Financial challenges, make sure you secure your life, health and profession. Remember, insurance is not investment,
ASHOK GAVASKAR: instead, invest in your practice, develop a second source of income, try to live within your means, have sound financial planning and plan for retirement. Retirement doesn't mean doing nothing, but maybe something that you want to do differently in the long run. So maintain a good work life balance. As as the old saying says, if you can choose a job that you enjoy doing, you probably don't have to work a single day in your life.
ASHOK GAVASKAR: That is true, but remember that you are a social animal. There are a lot of people around you who need your time as well. So do not buy the argument, work is life and life is work. Try to manage time better. Thank you.
