Eric W. Carson, MD, professor in the Department of Orthpaedic Surgery at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, demonstrates suture technique to high school students last winter as part of the Perry Initiative, a mentorship program aimed at getting young women interested in orthopedics and engineering.
While growing up in Boston’s inner city, Eric Carson didn’t think African Americans, like himself, could become physicians. But not only did he become a physician, he chose to work in orthopedics, a specialty noted for its lack of diversity.
Carson, one of four children raised by a single mother, was bused along with his siblings to more affluent, predominantly white suburbs for elementary and high school. To fill their free time, his mother enrolled them in a variety of activities run by nonprofit organizations such as the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
