Mission
The Association of Women Surgeons Chapter at Rush Medical College is dedicated to the mission of 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 the chapter at Rush Medical College will facilitate the success of aspiring women surgeons by: 1) highlighting practicing role models at local institutions and within the community 2) providing networking and mentorship opportunities with surgeons and surgical residents 3) 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.
