Congratulations To The All Female Surgeon Class Graduating At URMC
Written by Andre on June 23, 2017
The University of Rochester’s Department of Surgery Match Program is graduating an all female class which is a first!
The class is made up 12 students all women who were selected into the program by chance 7 years ago. Their journey began in field predominantly male oriented now comes to an end seven years later with a huge celebration because all twelve women will be graduating.
One of the soon-to-be graduates Sarah Farach, told RochesterFirst.com “It was interesting to hear and it was shocking and not typical, especially for surgery because it’s such a male dominated specialty.”
All twelve students are not only getting ready to graduate but they have secured jobs as surgeons across the country!
