Future Leaders in Orthopaedic Surgery Virtual Symposium
JRGOS invites all medical students to attend the Future Leaders in Orthopaedic Surgery Virtual Symposium on November 2, 2024! The symposium will feature several JRGOS members including a keynote address by Gladden Board Member, Melvyn Harrington, MD, and career panel featuring several Gladden member attendings including Toni McLaurin, MD, Erica Taylor, MD, and William Ross, MD.
Only 1.9% of practicing orthopaedic surgeons are black. Through multi-faceted mentoring programs, the Gladden Society is cultivating the next generation of underrepresented orthopaedic surgeons.
