Med student and social media ambassador Cheyenne recently attended @watchmusig annual 'Women in Surgery' event: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Every year the Monash University Surgical Interest Group (MUSIG) hosts "Women In Surgery", an event to celebrate and encourage diversity in the surgical profession and to introduce aspiring female surgeons to mentors. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "This year MUSIG was proud to host Ms Mary Ann Johnson, Dr Amiria Lynch, Dr Annette Holian, and Dr Neela Janakiramanan who shared their experience and motivation for pursuing surgery, as well as advice for our Monash medical students who are interested in a surgical career. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My personal favourite quote from the evening which was shared by Dr Amiria Lynch is "Kau e mate wheke mate ururoa", which means "Don't die like an octopus, die like a hammerhead shark".
