Heather Logghe is a surgical research fellow at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. She started the viral movement #ILookLikeASurgeon, a hashtag that reached over one hundred million people on Twitter.

Early life and education[edit]

Logghe graduated from the University of California in 2011.[1] She won the 2012 Chancellor's Award for the Advancement of Women.[2]

Career[edit]

Logghe began a surgical residency at the University of North Carolina and took two years off for research.[3] She studied laparoscopic surgeries, and identified that laparoscopic shunt revision can avoid the complications of open revision.[4] Logghe started the viral Twitter campaign #ILookLikeASurgeon whilst a preliminary surgical resident in October 2015.[5][6] Logghe was inspired by the #ILookLikeAnEngineer campaign.[7] The social media posts generated hundreds of millions of impressions, including the American College of Surgeons and Royal College of Surgeons as well as media outlets.[8][9][10][11][12][13] In 2017 the campaign was selected as the cover of The New Yorker.[13]

She has since published peer-reviewed papers on the evolving image of surgeons, as well as providing guidelines for surgeons' social media use.[14][15][16] She believes Twitter can be a useful tool in advancing academic surgery.[17][18][19] In 2017 she joined Thomas Jefferson University Hospital as a Surgical Research Fellow, looking at how social media can be used to disseminate research, medical education and patient care.[20][21][22]
