In honor of , we celebrate the pioneering women who transformed transplant surgery.

Dr. Olga Jonasson performed Illinois’ first kidney transplant and became the first woman to lead a clinical & academic surgery department in the U.S.

Dr. Nancy Ascher was the first woman to perform a liver transplant and later chaired UCSF Surgery, shaping national transplant policy along the way. She also served as ASTS’ first female President.

We also recognize leaders like Dr. Kim Olthoff, Dr. Elizabeth Pomfret, and Dr. Ginny Bumgardner, who served as ASTS Presidents, and have paved the way for women in the field.

Thanks to these trailblazers, women now make up 20% of transplant surgery fellowship applicants. Progress continues, and we honor all the women and allies driving change in our field.
