The Muriel Steele Society - Medical Student Committee
MSS is an inclusive community dedicated to inspiring, supporting, and promoting women surgeons so they can thrive at all stages of their careers. We are comprised of committees spanning numerous areas, work together seamlessly to promote wellness of members, provide mentorship across all levels of training from medical student to junior faculty, and to conduct research on issues that hamper progress towards gender parity and greater diversity in surgery. Our Medical Student Committee plans events for the medical student community to promote women interested in pursuing a career in surgery.
