Abstract

The surgeon acts as a manager in the operating room, ward, classroom, and in daily life to control time. Skills cross all boundaries of medicine with specific needs in each area. Without leadership skills the nonmedical aspect of practice becomes more difficult and can make the physician less successful. Learning to manage, therefore, becomes critical.
