THE STORY About Scrubs & Heels

When speaking to leaders in Medicine or Surgery, we often hear sentiments like:

“I wish someone had shown me how it’s done, opened that door for me, encouraged me to build on my ideas, or reassured me that it’s okay to do things differently. I wish I had trusted my skills and myself more, learned earlier to ask for what I wanted, built my professional network, and not hesitated to pursue leadership positions earlier in my career.”

Yet, with authentic solidarity, these individuals also affirm:

“We’ve come so far and learned so much along the way. There’s still work to be done to break down barriers and make the fields of Medicine and Surgery supportive, balanced and fair. Together, we can and must change the narrative for the next generation of medical professionals. We want to see every individual in the field achieve their full leadership potential within their institution or practice, in national medical societies and editorial boards, or building their own enterprises, and everything else in between.”
