Dr. Olga Jonasson: A Pioneer for Women in Surgery
1Department of Surgery, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, IL, USA.
Abstract:
The advancement of women in surgery has seen tremendous progress over the past century. Among the many physicians who paved the way for women in surgery is Dr. Olga Jonasson, a Chicago-based transplant surgeon who performed the first kidney transplantation in the state of Illinois in 1969. Her passion for service and drive for greater female representation in medicine was massively influential to the field. Aspiring female physicians are forever indebted to the efforts of Dr. Jonasson and the bold women who came before us.
