Stanford Cardiothoracic Surgery Celebrates Women in Medicine

Event

The Cardiothoracic Surgery Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Staff Committee is pleased to host the Stanford Cardiothoracic Surgery Celebrates Women in Medicine Luncheon!

September marks the American Medical Association’s Women in Medicine Month—an annual celebration of women physicians, residents, and trainees. This inspired the DEI Staff Committee to organize the Stanford Cardiothoracic Surgery Celebrates Women in Medicine Luncheon in appreciation of the women in medicine who have paved the way for future leaders in cardiothoracic surgery.
