Traditionally, surgical trainees relied on formative experience, self-motivated learning, or one-off local institutional efforts. Due to the high demands of time in surgical training and the frequent accumulation of large amounts of educational debt during this process, financial well-being may be neglected, which can lead to professional and personal stress and burnout. The paucity of formal education on this TTP topic causes surgical graduates to rely on informal mentorship during contract negotiation or expensive legal advice. This situation jeopardizes long-term recruitment and retention of surgeons from nonprivileged backgrounds who are less likely to have access to robust informal financial literacy resources. Financially literate surgeons are more likely to enjoy careers that have longevity and high overall career satisfaction.
