Diversity in healthcare
Why we're still talking about it.
Interview – Nicholas Jorgensen
"I had an opportunity to go to medical school and took a chance, and haven’t really looked back."
Interview – Nicole Williams
"I was immediately drawn to this specialty. I could use my medical knowledge to diagnose and develop a plan, then use technical skills to carry out that plan..."
AOA's research strategy
"Ideally placed at the coalface of activity, surgeons observe the results of their efforts and are, therefore, equally ideally placed to drive changes and innovations that result in better outcomes."
Ethics and professionalism
"As a mature association, we need to articulate rules by which to live and work as colleagues, for we depend on each other in many ways."
