???? We’re Live and Louder, Prouder, and Better Than Ever! ????
The Association of Out Surgeons and Allies is thrilled to welcome you to our new and improved website! Designed with our community in mind, this refreshed space is more intuitive, more connected, and more powerful making it easier than ever to build community, grow professionally, and advance equity and inclusion in surgery.
We know change can be a little disruptive, and we appreciate your patience during the transition. Trust us it was worth it. This platform will help our members connect, collaborate, mentor, advocate, and lead as we continue our mission to support LGBTQ+ surgeons, trainees, and allies through visibility, education, and belonging.
Take a look around, explore what’s new, and help us keep pushing surgery forward together, authentically, and proudly. ????️????✨
AOSA recognizes that, for some LGBTQ+ people, joining an organization like ours could put your professional or personal safety at risk.
Our goal is to include as many members of our communities as possible, and to make it possible for you to participate in whatever way makes sense to you.
