Abstract

A young surgeon’s success vitally depends on building a robust clinical practice. In this chapter, we will focus on the adoption of new technologies for surgeons and how surgeons can best lead their hospitals to invest in innovation wisely. While there is no magic formula and little data to guide surgeons in the subtle art of communication with hospital leadership, this chapter will focus on foundational principles that produce positive outcomes. This approach focuses on quality care delivered to the patient by the health system, including trainees, and appropriate partnership with industry.
