Supporting Future Surgeons: Dr. Jeffrey Matthews' Role at SAAS 2024

We are proud to highlight Dr. Jeffrey Matthews' participation as a session leader at the SAAS 2024 Conference. The Society of Asian Academic Surgeons (SAAS) was founded to address the lack of Asian representation in leadership within academic surgery, with a mission to promote the personal and career development of Asian academic surgeons. At the conference, Dr. Matthews led a Junior Breakout Session on "Job Search for Trainees," where he shared invaluable insights to help trainees and junior faculty navigate the job search process. His participation underscores our department’s commitment to supporting the next generation of surgeons and fostering diversity in academic surgery.
