Female surgeons around the world are taking up the #ILookLikeASurgeon mantra once again, this time with photographic replications of cover art featured by The New Yorker.
The magazine's health issue featured a blue cover designed by French artist Malika Favre depicting four female surgeons looking down at a patient. When Susan Pitt, MD, an endocrine surgeon at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, saw the cover, she called on female surgeons around the world to recreate it to highlight the number of women and minorities working in surgery, according to The New Yorker.
From the U.S. to Saudi Arabia to Ireland female surgeons are posting photos of themselves on social media, and The New Yorker compiled many into the following photograph featured on its Twitter.
