A great mentor has the power to shape careers and transform lives. Through their guidance, they provide wisdom, open doors, and foster valuable connections that create lasting opportunities. For women in surgery, mentors play an essential role in driving both educational and professional growth.
This January, in honor of National Mentoring Month, we’re celebrating outstanding mentors who inspire and empower others. Share your gratitude with a special gift and note of recognition, and look out for featured mentors on AWSF social media platforms and in an upcoming email.
Ms. Stacey Darwish (MBChB, FRCS) is a Consultant Spine Surgeon based in the National Spine Injuries Unit (NSIU @nsiuresearchgroup), Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, St. Vincent’s University Hospital, and Mater Private Network in Dublin, Ireland. She was awarded an MBChB from the University of Glasgow and continued her medical training by earning her FRCS in Trauma and Orthopaedics from the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh. She then furthered her training and expertise by embarking on fellowships in both paediatric & adult deformity (Scottish National Deformity Service, Edinburgh) and complex adult spine surgery (National Spine Injuries Unit, Dublin), focusing on evolving technologies including navigation and robotics. As both a nationally and internationally renowned researcher, Ms. Darwish is currently interested in research topics revolving around trauma, frailty, and evolving surgical technology. Most recently she was integral in the commencement of mixed reality navigation in Mater Misericordiae University Hospital.
