 Women In Surgery: Vol 1, Issue 2
Careers on the Cutting Edge
A typical Tuesday in the Troppmann
household begins at
5 AM when Kathrin Troppmann,
MD, and her husband, Christoph
Troppmann, MD, wake up and get
their children ready to go to day
care. One parent drops off the
kids while the other goes ahead
to the University of California
(UC), Davis Medical Center where
they both work as surgeons.

Careers On The Cutting Edge
Not long ago, women shied away from careers in surgery, discouraged by a range of potential problems such as sexism in the workplace, or out of fear that the demands of a surgical career could curtail the pursuit of raising a family or participating in other personal interests. Today, a prevailing notion of women in surgery is that when women go into medicine with a clear perspective on what they want out of life, it is indeed possible to find or make practice that allows them to flourish professionally while leading a full life outside of work.
