The Wellness Committee of APSA would like to thank JPS for highlighting our inaugural 5 years in their Perspectives column in a series of submissions from the Wellness Committee, which was formed in late 2019. This second submission by Drs. Sulkowski and Statter highlights the collaborative work product of the Ethics and Wellness Committees in the design and implementation of the “Connect and Share” APSA Code Series. These live webcasts address topics that can lead to surgeon moral distress in a productive and enlightening framework.
