I am passionate about improving DEI in surgery, especially as we train the next generation of surgical leaders. I currently work in my home institution to increase awareness of implicit bias, as well as training upstanders to respond to episodes of bias and microaggressions. IÂ hope to bring these skills to AAS and take the next step serving on a national DEI committee. I feel AAS is a perfect organization to champion improving DEI, as it serves as the premier organization for our academic surgical institutions, which are so involved in training the surgeon leaders of tomorrow.
