title: Now That I'm in Charge: What Do I Do?
abstract: Beginning one's practice can be overwhelming. Most young surgeons think this is all due to the stress of direct patient care. However, gathering all of the necessary support personnel and equipment to successfully do your job and then educating that team so it functions to ease your work life require planning and people skills. This knowledge can be learned during residency and fellowship training, which will help ease the stress of beginning one's career.
