About me

Amy Vertrees, MD is a board-certified general surgeon, Army veteran, certified coach, and founder of the BOSS Business of Surgery Series.

After leaving the military, she was an employed surgeon then created Columbia Surgical Partners, a private practice general surgery group.

She discovered there were lessons that she was never taught in residency that were necessary for a successful surgical career. She created the BOSS Business of Surgery Series to fill in that gap and has used everything that she has learned to become a successful private practice general surgeon.

The BOSS series includes a highly rated podcast, group coaching and 1:1 coaching to help surgeons realize their potential by teaching lessons not taught in residency. The book, “Become the BOSS MD: Success beyond residency” is coming out June 20, 2023.
