Residency prepared you for the OR.

The BOSS Business of Surgery Series prepares you for everything else.

BOSS is the only program designed specifically for surgeons navigating the pressures, politics, and burnout that residency never prepared you for.

Does any of this sound familiar?
  • A difficult colleague makes every shift feel like a trap
  • Complications replay in your head long after the OR
  • Clinic bleeds into your evenings and weekends
  • Pay keeps dropping, admin keeps piling up
  • You can’t get what you need from administration
  • Your family gets whoever’s left at the end of the day

These aren’t character flaws. They’re skill gaps — and every one of them is fixable.

About Amy

Amy Vertrees, MD

General Surgeon & Certified Coach


Residency taught me to operate. It didn’t teach me how to handle the colleague who undermined me, the complication that shook my confidence, or the slow grind that makes you wonder if this was worth it. Since 2020 I’ve spent over 1,000 hours coaching surgeons — and I’m still one myself.

1,000+ coaching hours    •   Surgeon   •   Author & podcaster

What a BOSS surgeon looks like

  • Walks into difficult conversations without dread
  • Processes complications and moves
  • Negotiates confidently with admin and partners
  • Leaves clinic on time and leaves work at work
  • Sets boundaries without guilt
  • Shows up fully — at work and at home

What surgeons say

More clarity


"Amy has helped me clarify my goals and values and bring better energy to work life (yes, this helps in your personal life, too:)."

Dr. RG., Surgeon

Less anger


“I had a very complicated political situation threatening the entire practice I’d built. Amy skillfully helped me navigate it, control my emotions, and develop a game plan. Five months in, I am 150% satisfied.”

Dr. KS., Surgeon

More satisfaction


“I frequently felt like a lesser partner. Now I appreciate my role in the group and see myself as an equal — which gives me greater satisfaction and resilience in my daily work life.”

Dr. GS., Surgeon

More hope


“I feel so much more myself. I am so much less against myself than I was — I didn’t realize until speaking with you how upset I was with myself in so many ways. I feel positive, hopeful, and grateful.”

Dr. SG., Surgeon
