Women's Leadership Initiative

Applications for the Women's Leadership Scholarship are now closed. The scholarship recipients will be announced in December.

The Women's Leadership Initiative supports and encourages women in foot and ankle orthopaedic surgery. Current programs include the Women's Leadership Awards, which recognize outstanding female leaders in foot and ankle orthopaedics, and the new Women's Leadership Scholarship Program.

If You Can See It, You Can Be It

Women in orthopaedics share how their mentors, family, and role models inspired and supported their careers.

Thank you to Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. for their support of this video.
