In a paradigm-shifting viewpoint, academic surgery is urged to move beyond the traditional ‘triple threat’ model of clinical care, research, and teaching. The study advocates for a more sustainable and individualized approach, recognizing that the evolving healthcare landscape and external pressures make the current model less tenable. Surgeons are encouraged to define success based on personal passion, fostering a healthier and more motivated academic environment. The call is for a modernized paradigm that aligns with the changing dynamics of academic surgery.
