Exploring the Gender and Diversity Gap in Trauma Surgery - #48- 03/08/2019
In this Careercast, Dr. Salina Wydo interviews Dr. Paula Ferrada on exploring the gender and diversity gap in trauma surgery. Dr. Ferrada shares her personal experiences, as well as insights and practical advice on improving inclusivity in our community, and encourages individual surgeons to succeed by “[doing] what you want not to spite them, but in spite of them.”
For more information on the topic, please visit the joint AWS/EAST Careercast #45 on the Importance of Mentoring
