Association of Women Surgeons (AWS) Medical
Student Committee is Seeking New Members
AWS is an international organization whose mission is to develop
resources to support, educate, and inspire women medical students
pursuing a career in surgery. Our major goals are three-fold: (1)
Encourage women medical students to consider a career in surgery (2)
Provide peer to peer networking for women medical students exploring a
career in surgery (3) Facilitate the finding of surgeon mentors for
women medical students.
Some of our current projects include improving the AWS mentorship
program, developing a housing network for residency interviews,
continuing the student poster session at the annual conference,
distributing a student newsletter, membership expansion, and writing
feature stories in AWS publications. Click here for a
