Wellness Town Hall
Tickets
Aug 4 @ 7:00 am – 8:00 am

We’re are holding a town hall on Tuesday morning to check in with faculty with young and school-age children to see how you are holding up – and how we can help support you?  We recognize that the COVID pandemic has disrupted your normal support system for educating and caring for your family and causing significant stress without a clear end in sight.  Dr. Tait Shanefelt will join us to listen in and give guidance, as he is completing a needs assessment survey of the faculty. Dr, Brooke Gurland – our new department wellness director looks forward to understanding your specific challenges.

Some topics we thought would be good for discussion with Dr. Brooke Gurland and Dr. Tait Shanefelt:

  1. Are you exposing your family to risk by being a healthcare worker?  Dr, Bonnie Maldonado will share her results from her family transmission study as well as concerns for COVID with pregnant moms.
  2. How you can access sabbatical and professional development leave to reduce clinical effort – Libby/Rose (Academic Affairs)
  3. How different families are responding to the distance learning and childcare challenge – are you hiring in-home help?   (Everyone)
  4. Best practices for hiring in-home help – reference checks/background checks (Yvette Caro – HR director for the department)
  5. Creating ‘pods’ of shared child care/educational tutors with other families to limit COVID exposure (everyone)
  6. Finding a quiet place to get your work done with everyone at home (Everyone)
  7. Strategies for self-care – with all the increased demands (Everyone – with Brooke and Tait sharing resources)
  8. What to do if you or a family member is exposed or gets COVID? (Mary)

THE 16TH ACADEMIC SURGICAL CONGRESS IS GOING VIRTUAL!

Dear AAS/SUS Members and Colleagues,

As this unprecedented year unfolds, the AAS and SUS leadership are carefully watching the evolving crisis to understand its impact on our members. While much remains uncertain, it is clear that all of us have been significantly impacted – either by the pandemic itself or the financial implications of the shutdowns. At many of our institutions, elective surgery, research programs and labs have been put on hold. After discussions with many of you across the U.S. and internationally, we have learned that there are widespread institutional restrictions on travel and discretionary funding for next year. There is also significant uncertainty beyond travel or budget restrictions, including the safety of convening a large in-person meeting.

We feel that it is important for us to continue our mission of providing a rich and diverse environment for the development of academic surgical leaders in line with our core values: scholarship, leadership, professional development, mentorship, innovation, community, and inclusion.

With this in mind, we have decided the 2021 Academic Surgical Congress will take place on a virtual platform. The program committee and leadership are working hard to make our first virtual meeting exciting, impactful, and reflective of the issues confronting our societies.

Please save the dates for the first week in February! More details to come.

Stay safe, healthy and strong,
Carrie Lubitz, MD, MPH, AAS Recorder, ASC Program Chair
Melanie Morris, MD, SUS Publication Chair, ASC Program Chair
Eugene Kim, MD, AAS President
Sandra Wong, MD, MS, SUS President
