Résumé
Professional development as a plastic surgeon is a critical component of a balanced and rewarding career. The phase of career plays an important role in what opportunities are available and what decisions must be made to affect the trajectory of the surgeon's life and practice. Engagement and proactive strategic planning can help identify these points in a career. The goal of this article is to describe some of the fundamental choices in professional development, discuss recent literature related to the phases of career progression, and present the construct of career as a continuum integrated with life goals. Foundational career planning has roots even before becoming a resident or fellow, with increasing attention paid during medical school and undergraduate years. Mentorship and leadership roles, and work-life balance challenges, grow with entry into practice. Career sustainment with continuing education, ergonomic resources, and transition to retirement become important considerations for the experienced surgeon. Career success is a diverse vision, with composition unique to the individual surgeon. Understanding the merit of different career directions will help the surgeon take full advantage of the plethora of opportunities available in the plastic surgery specialty. Importantly, this planning and engagement has contributed to the decreased rate of burnout seen in plastic surgery.
