About The Academy

For more than a decade, our research has found that surgical coaching adds value- Value to surgeons, patient outcomes and the medical field as a whole. Coaching is a tool for surgeons to achieve meaningful continuing professional development. To serve the growing demand, we built the Academy for Surgical Coaching. Our video-based coaching platform connects surgeons across institutions, both nationally and internationally. The Academy is an independent nonprofit organization providing surgical coaching services to professional societies, healthcare systems, and individual surgeons.
