The culmination of nearly 10 years of post-medical school training 🥹 What an incredible honor to accept my diploma from Dr Alec Patterson. I’m so grateful he stuck around a few extra years to train me 😊🙏🏼 @WashU_CT

We are excited to bring this course back in April 2026!

An older male surgeon, spotting my bag at a student career event, said 'Oh! do you want to be a surgeon?' and tried to tell me why it's a great choice. 🤣 That's not a response I ever got back in the 90s. We *are* making progress on gender equity. #ILookLikeASurgeon 🤗
