National symposium Feb. 27 aims to attract and advance women in surgery
USF Health’s Dr. Sharona Ross launched the USF Women in Surgery initiative from her home in September 2009 to improve the odds for attracting more women to surgery. This Saturday, February 27, 2010, USF and Tampa General Hospital will sponsor a national symposium for women who are or hope to become surgeons. Experts from across the country will gather at the Don CeSar Hotel in St. Petersburg Beach, FL, to discuss the issues and challenges confronting women as they seek to advance in a changing, but still male-dominated, field and to share successes and advice for breaking the glass ceiling in surgery.
