Abstract

For this lecture, I was inspired by Dr. Bryan Richmond's Southeastern Surgical Congress presidential address, "Finding your own unique place in the house of surgery." I struggled to find my own place in cancer surgery. The choices available to me and those who came before me enabled the wonderful career I am blessed to enjoy. What I share as part of my own story. My words do not represent those of my institutions or any organizations of which I am privileged to belong.

Keywords: Asian immigration; Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882; Johnson Reed Act of 1924; surgery career path; surgical oncology.
