View MoreMargaret Fok reflects on navigating a demanding academic and clinical career by embracing opportunities that offer growth, global collaboration, and meaningful challenge. She describes learning to balance commitments, sacrifice personal time, and eventually say no to tasks that no longer promote development. Her career, shaped by international training and university-based practice, reinforces the value of diverse perspectives and continuous learning. She emphasizes mentorship as a reciprocal process grounded in understanding a mentee’s strengths, nurturing potential, and creating space for new leaders. Despite abundant resources, she notes that orthopaedics needs more cohesive, non-duplicative mentorship structures across societies and journals. Her perspective underscores a shared global responsibility to mentor, collaborate, and broaden opportunities for the next generation.
