Dr. Laurencin Receives the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons 2022 Diversity Award
The Chemical & Biomolecular Department would like to congratulate Dr. Cato Laurencin on receiving the 2022 Diversity Award from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. The Diversity Award recognizes members of the AAOS who have distinguished themselves through their outstanding commitment to making orthopaedics more representative of, and accessible to, diverse patient populations.
The sum of those affected by Laurencin’s mentorship and work is immeasurable, according to MaCalus V. Hogan, MD, MBA, FAAOS, from the University of Pittsburgh McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine. Laurencin’s 40 years of work promoting racial and gender diversity has spanned the realms of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and resulted in the establishment of programs that are poised to diversify the field of orthopaedic surgery and medicine in general for generations to come.
