While there are now a handful of women heading up surgical departments in the United States and Canada, we still have a long way to go. The women below are paving the way for others like them and their accomplishments exemplify the AWS mission to inspire, encourage, and enable women surgeons to realize their professional and personal goals. We celebrate their success!

Take advantage of AWS benefits to advance your career in surgery!
