Advocacy
Advocating for women. Advancing women’s health.
Advocacy is at the core of Women in Medicine®. We champion practices that advance gender equity in the healthcare workforce and improve health outcomes for women everywhere. Through our research, national platforms, and powerful network of healthcare leaders, we elevate women’s voices where decisions are made—ensuring that the needs of women patients and professionals alike are represented in every conversation that shapes the future of care.
WIM’s advocacy strengthens careers, communities, and the health of generations to come.
