S2 EP0: Being Unapologetically You with Dr. Jennifer Weiss, MD and Dr. Vonda Wright, MD



Welcome back to the second season of The 6% with NancyMD!

To kick start this new season, I’m bringing in two amazing physicians who are part of the 6% that make up female orthopedic surgeons here in the US, to share their experiences, struggles, and victories in a male-dominated field.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jennifer Weiss a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon who actively writes and speaks on the topic of women in medicine and Dr. Vonda Wright who is a sports medicine orthopedic surgeon, writer, speaker and the CEO/founder of Women’s Health Conversations. 

Find out how they are thriving in our field and helping aspiring female surgeons and females who aim to find their place in their chosen field. We share our stories, how we landed in a male-dominated career field, and what’s driving us to strive to stay at the top of our games.

Episode Highlights:

  • Jennifer and Vonda’s experiences as women working in a male-dominated field
  • Orthopedic stories from Jennifer and Vonda
  • Being unapologetic of who you really are and owning it
  • The “he for she” movement
  • Confidence is not bragging
  • Learning how to advocate for yourself
