BOROUGH PARK — While the surgical profession is still a largely male-dominated field, Maimonides Medical Center has taken a lead in shaking things up a bit. According to Dr. Rebecca Rhee, program director for the general surgery residency and chief of the division of colon and rectal surgery, it demonstrates a seismic shift.

“The Times They Are A-Changin,” Bob Dylan penned back in 1964 — and some 60 years later, the lyric still has relevance. At Maimonides Medical Center, the lyric might have reverberated last July when the hospital welcomed its first-ever all-female class of surgical residents.

Earlier this year, to celebrate National Female Physician Day, Maimonides invited a reporter from the Brooklyn Eagle to take a tour and become a proverbial “fly on the wall” as the female surgical team prepped for a day.
