Bonus Episode from CANUCS Surgical Fellows Course: Kelly Vogt on Starting Your Career in Research as a Surgeon

Cold Steel: Canadian Journal of Surgery Podcast

We’re really excited to bring you talks that we recorded as part of the CANUCS Surgical Fellows course. CANUCS is a national organization that stands for Canadian collaborative on urgent care surgery. Dr. Chad Ball and Kelly Vogt were instrumental in bringing together some really fantastic speakers to talk about the critical knowledge and skills that surround obtaining a staff job, as well as being successful both personally and professionally in a demanding career.

Dr. Kelly Vogt is an acute care and trauma surgeon at Western University in London, Ontario and is an outstanding surgeon-scientist. Dr. Vogt lays out her advice for starting a career in research as a surgeon, and how to navigate everything from involving trainees to writing your first grant. She’s a longstanding friend of the podcast, and you can check out all the other episodes we’ve done with Dr. Vogt in the shownotes.

As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback, so please email us at [email protected].
