Women in Emergency Medicine

We have an active and inclusive women in emergency medicine group that meets several times a year in social settings. Some of the goals of our group include:

  • Encourage discussion of topics that pertain to gender in medicine, gender disparities, gaps, and different career trajectories.
  • Bring awareness to some gender-specific barriers in medicine and career advancement.
  • Promote mentorship for women in medicine in any of their interests and at different stages of their careers.
  • Provide support and resources for each other as we navigate through our careers.
  • Acknowledge and celebrate each other’s accomplishments.
  • Discuss life-work balance and wellness topics.
  • Wind down and socialize with your colleagues and co-workers in a relaxed environment.
  • Enjoy great food!
