In addition, all members receive two 1:1 coaching session with our experienced coaches.

As surgeons, we get that this happens. You'll have access to the content. However, for privacy and confidentiality, the sessions are not recorded.
As with any coaching, the more you put into the program, the more you will benefit. We expect that members will invest approximately one to two hours between sessions to reflect, integrate learning, and prepare for the next session.
Vegas Rules. What happens in the Surgeon’s Lounge stays in the Surgeon’s Lounge. Surgery is a small world, and you and your colleagues may need to bring up issues that involve mutual acquaintances. All members are asked to keep everything shared in The Surgeon's Lounge confidential.
