Polina Zmijewski, Active Member
General Surgery, Endocrine Surgery
University of Alabama at Birmingham
I am passionate about serving on the leadership committee for the Association for Academic Surgery because I believe strongly in investing in trainee and early career development. My participation in the AAS fall courses absolutely changed my perspective on my career objectives. It was an amazing exercise in cracking open the hidden curriculum of success. For some, success can seem random and inaccessible rather than a systematic path, and I believe efforts of organizations like the AAS to make leadership and career advancement accessible are crucial to our efforts in diversity, equity, and inclusion in academic surgery. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute.
