AWS hopes to bring down barriers that remain for women in surgery
The Association of Women Surgeons is committed to supporting the professional and personal needs of female surgeons at various stages in their career - from residency through retirement. Since our founding in 1981, AWS has set up many programs with the specific objective of promoting the professional growth and advancement of our members.
AWS Foundation Annual Fund
The AWS Foundation Annual Fund seeks contributions from AWS members and others in support of innovative programs that have the power to impact the future of the field of surgery. Support the Foundation's important work.

"Were it not for the undaunted spirit of a few exceptional women, many barriers would still exist to discourage women from becoming surgeons. What we do today to support the AWS Foundation can create real change for women surgeons tomorrow."
- Tamar Earnest, MD, FACS
