Season Twenty: Leadership, Growth, & Resilience

 

Description: Donna Tepper, MD, is joined by Amy Moore, MD, Andrea Pusic, MD, and Vedra Augenstein, MD, for a discussion on leading teams of different sizes and developing effective leadership approaches in surgery.

Description: Courtney Collins, MD, is joined by Danielle LeBlanc, MD, Melinda Kimbrel, MD, Mindy Haws, MD, and Caroline Glicksman, MD, for a candid conversation about confidence, conflict, resilience, and leadership. The panel reflects on the experiences that shaped how they lead and the challenges women continue to navigate in surgery.

Description: Resilience is not about avoiding setbacks—it is about finding your way forward with the support of the people around you. Dr. Anne Peled is joined by Katerina Gallus, MD, and Janelle Sousa, MD, for a candid conversation about navigating unexpected health challenges, career disruptions, family responsibilities, and moments when life no longer follows the plan. Drawing from experiences with serious illness, military deployment, practice upheaval, and recovery, they explore what helped them adapt when circumstances felt beyond their control.

Description: What began as a small gathering of women plastic surgeons has grown into a thriving community shaping leadership, mentorship, education, and representation across the specialty. Dr. Ashley Amalfi is joined by Paige Myers, MD, and Patricia Mars, MD, for a look at the evolution of the ASPS Women Plastic Surgeons (WPS) Forum and the community that has fueled its growth. From early retreats centered on candid conversation and connection to today's robust scientific symposium, they reflect on the people, programs, and leadership structures that have expanded WPS while preserving the sense of belonging at its core.

Description: Building a successful private practice takes more than surgical expertise—it requires a clear vision, the right people, and a willingness to think like a business owner. Drs. Andrew McGregor and Utku Dolen are joined by Jerry Chidester, MD, and Brian Pyfer, MD, to explore what it takes to build and scale a plastic surgery practice with The Leap Into Ownership.
