actively promoting a culture of respect and representation across its global community.

IHC has implemented initiatives to ensure diverse voices are heard, including fostering

inclusive leadership, offering equal opportunities for professional development, and

addressing disparities in surgical representation. In partnership with Medtronic, IHC is

promoting equality for women surgeons by supporting global mentorship, collaboration,

and networking through the Women in Surgery Dinner which is planned for women

surgeons attending IHC 2024 México. IHC and Medtronic aim to create a more

equitable and inclusive environment for all women surgeons. This special event is

included in the registration to assure it is accessible to both attending and resident

women surgeons.
