Women in Medtech Forum: Innovating for Inclusion: Reshaping MedTech for Women Surgeons

February 5, 2025 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM (EST)

Description

Women account for more than 60% of joint replacement surgeries in the United States, yet only 6% of practicing orthopedic surgeons—the lowest percentage of women in any medical specialty—are women. This stark disparity highlights a clear and pressing need for change.


This Women in Medtech Forum will explore ways the industry is proactively working to recruit and retain more female surgeons including increasing collaboration, education, technological innovation and encouraging a diverse workforce.


The event will include a keynote presentation from Johnson & Johnson MedTech and moderated fireside chat, focusing on the disparities in design of traditional surgical tools. From inclusive design to robotics, the discussion will center around the latest technological innovations specifically designed to meet the ergonomic, physical, and professional needs of female surgeons.
