Dr. Schlussel on BOSS Business of Surgery Series
Dr. Andrew Schlussel draws on fifteen years of Army service to provide a strategic roadmap for surgeons navigating the unique complexities of military medicine. As a co-editor of the SAGES Manual for military surgical careers, Schlussel reframes the common challenge of lower operative volumes as a distinct opportunity for high-level research, global health engagement, and leadership development in systems-based practice. He highlights the modern flexibility of the field—including off-duty employment and significant reserve bonuses—while offering perspective on the need for LGBTQ+ clinical competence. Ultimately, he emphasizes that a successful military career and a smooth transition to civilian or VA roles require persistence, meticulous retirement planning that begins at least a year in advance, and a commitment to specialized leadership skills that translate powerfully beyond the operating room.
