05.01.2022 Associate Professor Kerin Fielding is an Orthopaedic Surgeon in Wagga Wagga and has been actively involved in surgical education. For too long our communities have not benefited from the expertise of women in surgery. That is now changing, but much needs to be done. Our patients and their carers deserve the best our profession can give. They will not get this until women are fully part of the profession.... By celebrating the achievements of women in surgery, we not only inspire the young female surgeons of today, but we also remind our profession and society of how much we have to give.
