The Pioneering Women in Reconstructive Surgery (PWRS) Program
There are only three female surgeons for every 1 million people in low-income countries.
The Pioneering Women in Reconstructive Surgery (PWRS) program is a partnership between ReSurge International and SkinCeuticals, a L’Oreal company, to advance first-generation women reconstructive surgeons in low-income countries across the world.
Together, we created the Pioneering Women in Reconstructive Surgery (PWRS) program to support women through surgical training, leadership development, mentorship, and networking. Upon graduation, each PWRS cohort will impact an estimated 162,000 patients over their careers.
