The annual workshop is a partnership with the Perry Initiative, an organization named for Jacqueline Perry, MD, one of the nation’s first female orthopedic surgeons. The Perry Initiative works with local groups to help promote the education of women in science, engineering and orthopedic surgery.
Around 40 girls from local high schools came to the event. This is the fourth year Dr. Carmody hosted the event, which she hopes will dispel myths about the field. Dr. Carmody is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and assistant professor of orthopedics at URMC.
