"Academic surgeon" describes a member of a medical school department of surgery, but this term does not fully define the important role of such physician-scientists in advancing surgical science through translational research and innovation.
The curriculum vitae and self-descriptive vignettes of the records of achievement of seven surgeons possessing documented records of academic leadership, innovation, and dissemination of knowledge were reviewed.
Out analysis yielded seven attributes of the archetypal academic surgeon: 1) identifies complex clinical problems ignored or thought unsolvable by others, 2) becomes an expert, 3) innovates to advance treatment, 4) observes outcomes to further improve and innovate, 5) disseminates knowledge and expertise, 6) asks important questions to further improve care, and 7) trains the next generation of surgeons and scientists.
Although alternative pathways to innovation and academic contribution also exist, the academic surgeon typically devotes years of careful observation, analysis, and iterative investigation to identify and solve challenging or unexplored clinical problems, ideally leverages resources available in academic medical centers to support these endeavors.
“学术外科医生”指医学院外科系的成员，但该术语并未完全界定这类医师科学家通过转化研究和创新推动外科学发展的重要作用。
回顾了七位外科医生的履历以及其成就记录中的自我描述短文，这些医生拥有学术领导力、创新及知识传播的记录。
我们的分析得出了典型学术外科医生的七个特质：1）识别他人忽视或认为无法解决的复杂临床问题；2）成为专家；3）进行创新以推进治疗；4）观察结果以进一步改进和创新；5）传播知识和专业技能；6）提出重要问题以进一步改善护理；7）培养下一代外科医生和科学家。
尽管创新和学术贡献还有其他途径，但学术外科医生通常要投入数年时间进行仔细观察、分析和反复研究，以识别和解决具有挑战性或未被探索的临床问题，理想情况下利用学术医疗中心现有的资源来支持这些努力。
