Last week, several female members from the Department of Orthopaedics hosted about 30 local high school girls and gave them a chance to simulate orthopaedic procedures—casting, suturing, fracture repair—in a fun and encouraging way. This marks the 10th year that the University has hosted the Perry Initiative workshop, which is part of a national effort to encourage girls to pursue careers in orthopaedics or bioengineering. After the workshop, the students gathered with their parents for a Q&A session with the instructors. Find photos from the day on the UR Medicine Facebook page.
