The Olga M. Jonasson Lecture

Olga M. Jonasson, MD, FÅ˽ðÁ«´«Ã½Ó³»­
Olga M. Jonasson, MD, FÅ˽ðÁ«´«Ã½Ó³»­

The Women in Surgery Committee (WiSC), the friends and colleagues of Olga Jonasson, and women in surgery throughout the country established this lecture in 2007 to honor the memory of Olga M. Jonasson, MD, FÅ˽ðÁ«´«Ã½Ó³»­, who died in August 2006. Dr. Jonasson was a true pioneer and trail blazer. She was a leader in academic surgery, exemplified by her becoming the first woman Chair of Surgery in U.S. history. She was a devoted teacher and mentor to countless numbers of surgeons, both men and women.

This lectureship is a testimony to leadership and education in surgery and a reflection of the capacity of women to reach academic pinnacles. Nominations for the lecture come from the WiSC.
