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.”
