Inspiration and innovation go hand in hand. Throughout history tragedies, including those personal and life altering, have inspired susceptible minds to find innovative ways to educate and tackle difficult problems. This address is first about origins. It weaves the story of how incredible individuals and events have shaped similar circumstances into not only our profession of pediatric surgery beginning with William E. Ladd, but also the emergency and trauma care system in this country. The address circles back to look at the past and future of our profession of pediatric surgery. Predictive models forecast that we are training too many pediatric surgeons in the traditional sense. The address describes how we might envision a paradigm shift in training using a different model and capitalizing on the talents of more young surgeons who want to take care of children. We are an incredible profession, but many have abdicated a need to include trauma patients and critical care in their practice of pediatric surgery. The model would include different pathways of training, enable more surgeons to be capable in aspects of children's surgical care, and provide optimal general surgical care for more children in the United States. This is an opportunity to redefine Ladd's path.
