Listen Later

In this episode Dr. Sasha Shillcutt and Dr. Amy Vertrees talk about:

  • Being brave enough to take risks

  • Opinions of others and letting go of likeability

"Once I realized I could take chances, the world opened up for me in ways I could not have imagined." - Dr. Amy Vertrees

Guest Bio:

Amy Vertrees, MD is a board-certified general surgeon, Army veteran, certified coach, author, and founder of the BOSS Business of Surgery Series. She served 17 years in the Army, reaching the rank of lieutenant colonel, and deploying 3 times to Afghanistan and Iraq as a general surgeon. After leaving the military, she was an employed surgeon and then created Columbia Surgical Partners, a private practice general surgery group. She discovered there were lessons that she was never taught in residency that were necessary for a successful surgical career. She created the BOSS Business of Surgery Series to fill in that gap and has used everything that she has learned to become a successful private practice general surgeon. The BOSS series includes a highly rated podcast, group coaching, 1:1 coaching, and the book "Become the BOSS MD: Success Beyond Residency."
