Women in Surgery: Courage Commitment Compassion | Kimberly M. Dalal, M.D. | TEDxSantaCatalinaSchool

Kimberly Dalal asks the question "Why? Why are there fewer women in surgery than men?" In this poignant and inspiring talk, Dalal shares her personal story of courage, commitment, and compassion serving as a surgeon in the armed forces. Her heartwarming story is an example of how one woman can defy the statistics. Dr. Kimberly Moore Dalal is the medical director of Surgical Oncology at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, and medical director of Pancreas Surgical Oncology at the California Pacific Medical Center, Sutter Health. Dr. Dalal was awarded a four-year U.S. Air Force ROTC scholarship to attend college and was named the 1991 U.S. Air Force ROTC Cadet of the Year. She graduated from Harvard College magna cum laude. While serving at Travis Air Force Base in the United States Air Force as Chief Surgical Oncologist, Lieutenant Colonel Dalal was deployed to Afghanistan. In 2010, Dr. Dalal began to care for patients as a community general surgical oncologist in Burlingame, CA, and cultivated relationships with physicians and patients in a larger geographic area in Northern California and established a collaborative, multidisciplinary pancreas surgical oncology program in Sutter Health. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
