Learn Strategies to Improve Surgeon Well-Being at #AAHKS2026

The AAHKS Women in Arthroplasty (WIA) Committee invites all 2026 AAHKS Annual Meeting attendees to the luncheon symposium, “The Long Game in the OR: Reclaiming Your Body, Resetting Your Mind, and Building Endurance for the Career,” taking place Friday, Nov. 6. Sponsored by DePuy Synthes, the symposium will explore how surgeons caring for others at the highest level experience heavy caseloads, physical strain and administrative grind, often leaving them running on autopilot until burnout sets in. Hurdle podcast host and certified coach Emily Abbate brings an engaging, relatable perspective to burnout prevention, focusing on what it actually takes to come home to yourself at the end of a shift. Learn actionable strategies to manage physical fatigue, build real mental resilience under pressure and create sustainable rituals that keep you feeling strong, present and fulfilled.
