Workshop Description:
Are you interested in surgery, leadership, or what it takes to break barriers in the field of medicine? Join us for a powerful and inspiring workshop with Dr. Steven Williams, board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon and the first African American president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

He will discuss the importance of representation in medicine, the role of diversity and inclusion in healthcare, and how future physicians can lead with purpose and compassion.
