On Saturday, December 10, 2022, there will be an event in conjunction with other talented women in orthopaedics, allied health, and engineering. Overall, the Perry initiative targets young women. The aim of all Perry Initiative programming is to build a pipeline for women in Orthopaedic Surgery and Engineering. This national program does it in several ways. One way is to establish local touchpoints for female high school students. The one-day program focuses on career exploration for female high school students. They hear talks from a local orthopaedic surgeon and engineer, as well as complete 6 hands-on surgery modules. Attendees will interact and network with female faculty as well.
I wanted to put on your radar this upcoming event. I know Shreveport-Bossier is full of talent that can be cultivated. Please share with your students. Let me know if there are any questions. More information to follow.
Below is a short video showing the Perry Outreach Program (POP) for high school students
