EUROPE

Hi! I'm a 3rd year medical student studying in Sheffield, UK. I'm interested in academia, Med Ed and am leaning towards surgery at the moment! As a future doctor in these changing times, diversity is such a crucial part of healthcare; being a woman of colour it only feels right to to help drive that change and inspire others by involving myself in the IODA community.

Medical Student

Paeds Ortho 25 years
Now occasional leadership roles

I'm currently an FY2 working in Scotland, I am going to apply for surgical training next year with the aim of a career in Trauma and Orthopaedics. Since deciding this I have had endless negativity and derogatory comments towards me about being too weak mentally and physically, too small, too nice and not right for orthopaedics. I'm passionate about making the career more diverse and tackling these issues.

Orthopaedic Surgeon - Bone and joint infection surgery

I am a specialised orthopaedic surgeon working in the field of shoulder and elbow pathologies. I have been working as a doctor for 21 years, beeing in a leadership role now since 2018 as Chief surgeon in 3 hospitals in Berlin Germany. I am strongly dedicated to supoorting and uplifting female surgeons aswell as diverstiy in a still heavily male dominated surrounding. My motivation in beeing a member of IODA is to connect , learn and engage to other female and divers leaders around the globe and share and lift up individuals that are going through similar struggles. Also I strongly believe that diversity in orthopaedics greatly benefits patient care and broadens our ability to individualize medicine rather than narrow down to gender norm based templates.

I am a chief surgeon and head of the department of 2 specialized clinics amongst 2 hospitals in Berlin-Germany since 2018, focusing on shoulder and elbow pathologies. After completing a fellowship in upper limb surgery in Melbourne-Australia I have continued specializing in this field. I strongly support and encourage female surgeons in becoming orthopeadic surgeons.

I am an ST8 orthopaedic registrar training in the severn deanery.

I am very keen on education and improving morale of the workforce in the future and interested in leaning more about this topic.
