Top Female Docs 2010
A list of medicine’s finest women
Over the years, we’ve asked SJ docs to vote for the peers they think are worthy of recognition. We’ve tallied the votes and listed for you year after year – the docs at the top of their game. For this special women’s issue, we reviewed lists from years past and compiled a new list of Top Docs – specifically showcasing the women docs who have garnered the most votes. Congratulations to these women who have earned the respect of fellow SJ physicians.
