In this episode of The Intentional Surgeon, Dr. Sharon L. Stein sits down with the esteemed Dr. Ross, a board-certified advanced Foregut and HPB surgeon with nearly two decades of expertise in robotic and single-incision laparoscopic surgeries. Dr. Ross has performed groundbreaking work in minimally invasive operations for conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, pancreas, and liver, and is dedicated to training the next generation of surgeons through her leadership at the Digestive Institute at Advent Health Tampa.
Dr. Ross's journey from serving in the Israeli Defense Forces to becoming a trailblazer in her field exemplifies determination and excellence. She talks a lot about being a woman in surgery unapologetically. From encouraging women in the pipeline to daring to own “aggressive”, to wearing feminine colorful clothing. Sharona challenges the premise that you need to fit in as a woman in surgery and encourages us to stand out as a woman in surgery.
The episode also highlights the 15th Annual International Women in Surgery Symposium, taking place February 7–9 in Tampa, Florida. This premier event celebrates and empowers women surgeons worldwide, fostering collaboration and innovation in surgical practice.
Tune in to explore Dr. Ross's inspiring career and gain a preview of the upcoming symposium, where leaders in surgery will gather to shape the future of medicine.
