Association of Women Surgeons
Student Organizations Dublin
Our Mission
The Association of Women Surgeons is dedicated to the mission of inspiring and supporting women in all stages of medical training and to inspire, encourage, and enable female surgeons to achieve their personal and professional goals. To that end, the establishment of student chapters at medical schools both within the United States and abroad will facilitate the success of aspiring women surgeons by a) highlighting women surgeons at local institutions and within the community, b) providing networking and mentorship opportunities with surgeons and surgical residents, and c) providing a forum for open discussion and collaboration on strategies related to professional development and the challenges women surgeons face. Ultimately, this unique focus will provide opportunities in which personal and professional interests, concerns and common experiences can effectively be addressed.
