In this episode of Prescription for Success, host Dr. Randy Cook interviews Dr. Ed Foxall, a surgeon with a unique career journey. Dr. Foxall shares how he overcame early challenges, including attending medical school in Guadalajara after U.S. rejections and persevering through board certification struggles. He emphasizes the "three A's" of success—being available, affable, and able—and highlights the importance of adaptability, lifelong learning, and building meaningful relationships in medicine. Now an associate program director for a general surgery residency, Dr. Foxall reflects on embracing change, transitioning from private practice to academia, and the value of mentorship in shaping his fulfilling career.
