Starting practice after fellowship

Starting practice can feel slow, especially after the pace of #fellowship. Dr. Sumitra Khandelwal shares why those quieter early months matter and how young surgeons can use that time intentionally. Building relationships with referring doctors, connecting with staff, learning clinic flow, and shaping your own templates are all investments that make a real difference later. The early schedule won’t stay light, and once clinic becomes busy, it’s much harder to step back and make changes. This is the stage where you can adjust your systems, refine how you want to practice, and build the relationships that will support you once the volume increases. #eyeprentice #idsocial #eyecare #ophthalmology
