Our Mission
The Association of Out Surgeons and Allies is an organization of LGBTQ+ Surgeons and allies which promotes acceptance, inclusion and equity in the surgical specialties to further learner engagement, support individual clinicians and researchers, and build a community.
AOSA also intends to create a space for LGBTQ+ surgeons and trainees that promotes a dignified and successful surgical career without stigma, judgment, or discrimination. We aim to achieve this through a combination of outreach, education, mentorship, and professional development
Our Purpose
To build a community of health professionals that will champion the presence, development, and promotion of LGBTQ+ individuals in surgery.
- Seek to be inclusive and supportive of LGBTQ+ surgeons with intersectional identities
- Enhance our community’s understanding of how to create and foster diversity, equity, and inclusion in surgery
- Facilitate and amplify LGBTQ+ surgeons’ success through dedicated mentorship networks
