It is our annual tradition: Crozer girls get together to have a good time. Crozer girls are EM residents, attendings, alumni and attendings who left Crozer, but their hearts stayed with us.
While it is important to discuss issues and problems which are pertinent only to women in Medicine, our girls simply enjoy our time to laugh, eat great foods, hang out, share stories, and … paint!
This year we gathered at the painting studio “Paint with a Twist” right on South street. Thanks to our conference queen, beautiful Sumaya Mekkaoui, for organizing this amazing event. And thanks to all the girls for bringing great foods and drinks!
Let’s take a glimpse at this fun event:

CAT COMPETITION:
Crozer EM girls love friendly and fun competitions. So here they are trying to paint a cat face on their heads without looking at it. Then the winners of “the best cat” and “the ugliest cat” are selected.
Deanna and Kenna were initially selected for “The best cat”, which is in fact “the most recognizable cat”.Deana won with a very narrow marginTwo of our best attendings were running for “The Ugliest Cat” winner. Jess Delcollo was named a winner!Our beautiful Deanna
Every girl got a spotlight time to showcase her painting. It is truly amazing how talented our ladies are on top of being smart, beautiful, kind, and funny
