Book Description:
About the Author:
It seems impossible to consider: a shortage of surgeons—perhaps the most esteemed and well-compensated medical specialty of all? Yet several factors point to this potentially happening in specialties across the spectrum of modern surgical practice. Are the warning signs for real? And if so, what can be done to make sure patients who require surgical treatment will get the care they need?
Thomas E. Williams, Jr., MD, PhD, is clinical associate professor of surgery in the division of cardio-thoracic surgery at Ohio State University.
Bhagwan Satiani, MD, MBA, is professor of clinical surgery in the division of vascular diseases and surgery at Ohio State University.
E. Christopher Ellison, MD, is currently the Robert M. Zollinger Professor of Surgery and Chairman of the Department of Surgery at Ohio State University and also serves as the associate vice president for health sciences and vice dean of clinical affairs of the College of Medicine.
