Over the years, topics addressed at these lectures have included:
- What to look for in a prospective job
- How to read and interpret a job contract
- Financial planning and loan repayment strategies
- Pros/cons of joining a national anesthesia group
- Legal aspects of practicing anesthesiology
- Updates from the North Carolina Medical Board
