Abstract
Developing a successful academic career depends on networking. Out of necessity, much of networking in the context of surgical education takes place at a national level. Unfortunately, the majority of surgeons have had little or no instruction on how to get involved in national organizations and professional societies. This chapter describes a strategy and tips on how junior faculty can successfully increase their national profile in surgical education. In addition, specific opportunities at a selection of national organizations are presented as reference.
