Mindful Leadership Podcast with Shahana Banerjee : Episode 6
“There are 25,000 orthopedic surgeons in the US, only 6-8% are women, and less than 2% are people of color.”
Pioneering female surgeons, orthopedic industry professionals, their partners and allies, supported by evolving technologies, are leading the way to a more inclusive future.
In this episode of the Mindful Leadership podcast, we dive into a mega dose of inspiration with Amy Turk , Director of Strategy and Innovation, Global Growth Hip Marketing at DePuy Synthes in Johnson and Johnson), a woman on a mission to improve patient outcomes by championing inclusivity in orthopedics and busting many many biases and stereotypes, along the way.
Learn more about Amy’s journey of overcoming adversity, from growing up feeling like she didn’t belong and she had no one who’d stand up for her, to becoming the person who stands up for others, who creates space for different voices and opinions, and is creating a movement for Women of Orthopedics to lift each other up.
