Coaching Questions from Booth 9060! The SurgeonMasters Podcast

In this episode of the SurgeonMasters Podcast, Jeffrey M. Smith, MD, FACS, PCC, and general surgeon and SurgeonMasters physician coach, Mindy Ho, MD, discuss their time at the 2025 American College of Surgeons Clinical Congress in Chicago, where SurgeonMasters had an exhibit booth.
Many physicians, residents, and medical students have questions about the coaching model that show their curiosity and desire to grow.
- What is the real difference between coaching and mentoring?
- Does coaching need to happen in person, or can it be just as effective virtually?
We heard from medical students and residents, wondering:
- Can coaching actually benefit me during training?
- Isn’t coaching more for mid-career or late-career physicians?
We heard from mid-career and late-career surgeons asking:
- What does the process look like?
- How long does it take?
As our careers evolve, we might be busy caring for patients or managing administrative responsibilities that we forget to focus on our own growth in other areas we care about or our well-being.
- Does coaching really work?
- How does coaching affect wellness?
- What actually happens in a coaching conversation?
Mindy and Jeff explore all of these questions — and more — in this episode of The SurgeonMasters Podcast.
Listen now to hear how coaching applies across every stage of a medical career, and how it can support you in finding clarity, growth, and purpose — wherever you are on your journey.
