Please join us in congratulating Dr. Frances Cuomo! She was recently recognized as one of Castle Connolly's "Exceptional Women in Medicine" for orthopedic surgery. She received this recognition based on peer nominations and acknowledgement of her outstanding accomplishments.

Dr. Cuomo is the current secretary of the editorial board of the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, reviewer for many orthopedic journals, first female orthopedic surgeon to be elected to the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Association, its first woman president, and the first woman ever to serve as president of any subspecialty society in the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons.

Congratulations, Dr. Cuomo! Your dedication to your patients and commitment to advancing orthopedics inspire us every day.
