The panel discussion will shed light on the intrinsic alignment between minimally invasive gynecologic surgeons and essential aspects of leadership within Women's Health. Acknowledging the current underrepresentation of MIGS professionals in leadership roles within Ob/Gyn subspecialties, this session aims to illuminate potential rooted in surgical expertise. Topics will cover areas such as assuming the role of a surgical leader, honing business skills, mastering project and team management, fostering a culture of excellence, and refining communication strategies.

Learning Objectives: After attending this session, the participant will be able to: 1) Illustrate the parallels between surgeons' mindset and skills required for effective healthcare leaders; 2) Identify the multifaceted responsibilities and core competencies of effective leaders in women's health; and 3) Utilize tools available for mentorship and personal leadership development within AAGL
