Introduction
Level 1 is the starting point of The Surgical Mastermind pathway.
It is designed to build the inner and outer foundations of a great surgeon.
Your mindset, discipline, clarity, technique, and leadership.
This programme is not about doing more cases.
It is about operating with calmness, precision, consistency, and purpose.
In 8 weeks, surgeons often experience a visible shift in:
- How they think
- How they prepare
- How they operate
- How they respond to challenges
- How they view themselves as surgeons
Level 1 is the foundation that every surgeon needs at any stage of career.
