Today marks the beginning of Black History Month —a time to honor and celebrate the incredible contributions Black Americans have made to orthopedics and medicine as a whole.

Dr. Claudia L. Thomas, MD, FAAOS is a true inspiration ✨
• The first African American orthopedic surgeon
• The first African American graduate of Yale’s Orthopedic Residency Program 🎓
• The first fully tenured professor at Howard University College of Medicine 🏛️

Although diversity in orthopedics is slowly growing, the numbers remind us how recent—and how important—her impact is 📊. Her medical career began in 1975, and today only 1.8–1.9% of practicing orthopedic surgeons are Black, with women representing just 0.6%.

Thank you, Dr. Thomas, for shattering glass ceilings 💥 and inspiring generations of young women to pursue—and thrive in—careers in medicine 💪✨
