The Women in Surgery app creates space for mentorship, honesty, collaboration, and connection across every stage of the journey into surgery.
You Were Never Supposed to Navigate this Alone
Ask the questions you actually care about, hear honest experiences, and connect inside specialty spaces that feel supportive, welcoming, and far less intimidating than traditional networking environments.
Real Conversations
Private chats make it easy to build real relationships with mentors, residents, surgeons, and students who could become part of your support system, career journey, and life far beyond medical school.
Connections That Last
Surgery feels different when you’re surrounded by women who understand the pressure, ambition, uncertainty, and emotional side of pursuing a career that can sometimes feel overwhelming to navigate alone.
Women Who Get It
From scholarships and research openings to symposium updates, mentorship programs, leadership opportunities, and networking events, the app keeps you connected to the things that can genuinely shape your future.

Expanding the WIS Experience
The Women in Surgery & Innovation app was created from Dr. Ross’ vision of building something far greater than a once-a-year symposium. A space where women pursuing surgery could continue learning, connecting, supporting one another, and growing together year-round. What began as a gathering has evolved into a lasting community built on mentorship, opportunity, and the belief that no woman should navigate the journey into surgery alone.
