Kimberly Dalal asks the question "Why? Why are there fewer women in surgery than men?" In this poignant and inspiring talk, Dalal shares her personal story of courage, commitment, and compassion serving as a surgeon in the armed forces. Her heartwarming story is an example of how one woman can defy the statistics. Dr. Kimberly Moore Dalal is the medical director of Surgical Oncology at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, and medical director of Pancreas Surgical Oncology at the California Pacific Medical Center, Sutter Health. Dr. Dalal was awarded a four-year U.S. Air Force ROTC scholarship to attend college and was named the 1991 U.S. Air Force ROTC Cadet of the Year. She graduated from Harvard College magna cum laude. While serving at Travis Air Force Base in the United States Air Force as Chief Surgical Oncologist, Lieutenant Colonel Dalal was deployed to Afghanistan. In 2010, Dr. Dalal began to care for patients as a community general surgical oncologist in Burlingame, CA, and cultivated relationships with physicians and patients in a larger geographic area in Northern California and established a collaborative, multidisciplinary pancreas surgical oncology program in Sutter Health. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Wow, to come across this today. Dr. Dalal is an amazing woman & surgeon. Feb 6, 2024 marks 10 years since she performed surgery on me for Pancreatic Cancer. I was given 4 months to live and Dr. Dalal on my very first visit, only 3 days after being diagnosed, told me Mrs. xxx you will live a very long life. Well she was right. I beat the odds with the grace of God and my Lord Jesus Christ and the skilled and compassionate hands of Dr. Kimberly Dalal. She is truly an incredibly passionate and caring person and you know that from the moment you meet her. I keep in touch on milestones like this and am so blessed to say I know this talented woman and surgeon. Thank you for my life, Dr. Dalal.

I find a lot of women who go into surgery end up being fairly unhappy later in life. The career choice is not very compatible with family life. As soon as women should be starting their career after 14 years of education it’s due time to start having kids. I have met a lot of single/divorced female surgeons . It’s not an easy choice. In the end you can not be a great surgeon and be a great mother. You can do one or the other. You try to do both and both family and career will suffer. There are more women than men in medical school. The playing field is wide open. Women in surgery is pretty much the norm today. I’m not sure this warrented a TED talk.
