Where this comes from

Abstract

Most orthopaedic surgeons do not have formal training in business education. We have learned that success comes to those who study hard, choose the correct answer on multiple-choice tests, and focus on patient care and operating. In contrast, business school graduates learned that success comes to those who apply interpersonal skills to build relationships and trust, in addition to taking risks. Medical school and business school teach one to confront the "real world" with quite a different perspective. In this manuscript, we will touch on a few things that we can learn from business school graduates.
