EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. — In an effort to increase the number of women in orthopedics, University Orthopedics surgeons and Brown Orthopedics researchers hosted a Perry Initiative event focused on introducing female medical students to the dynamic field of orthopedic surgery.
The hands-on program gave participants a unique opportunity to learn about the specialty through interactive surgical skills sessions and engaging presentations. Students practiced techniques, explored innovative research, and connected directly with mentors who are shaping the future of musculoskeletal care.
The Perry Initiative is dedicated to increasing diversity in orthopedics by inspiring young women to pursue careers in orthopedic surgery and engineering. Through mentorship and real-world exposure, events like this empower the next generation of leaders in the field.
University Orthopedics is proud to support initiatives that foster education, mentorship, and opportunity — helping build a stronger, more inclusive future for orthopedic medicine.
