The Perry Initiative

Building the Pipeline for Women in Engineering and Medicine

We’re very excited to announce an upcoming Perry Outreach Program on Saturday, April 27th at LSU Ochsner in Shreveport, LA. The Perry Outreach Program is a free, one-day, hands-on experience for high school women who are interested in pursuing careers in medicine and engineering. Students will hear from women leaders in these fields and try it for themselves by performing mock orthopaedic surgeries and biomechanics experiments.

We are currently seeking applicants for our Shreveport, LA program. Participants should be students who gender-identify as women or nonbinary in grades 10 and up with an expressed interest in science, medicine and/or engineering.  We would very much appreciate it if you could pass this information along to any high school principals, high school science teachers or high school students you may know.  Applicants should fill out our online application in advance of the March 27th, 2024 application deadline.

Additional information can be found on our website: www.perryinitiative.org

All the best,
