“The Women in Medicine Summit is the most inspirational conference I’ve ever attended. I’ve met amazing women who have faced the same challenges I have.

I’ve learned helpful strategies and had a chance to give back. As busy professional women, we all need a place to connect and collaborate.

WIM is the best place I know to do that.”

Women in Medicine is the rare gathering of women from all specialties, which provides priceless opportunities for networking, collaboration, and camaraderie.

I am honored to be associated with WIM and the mission of promoting and supporting women in medicine.

“As a pre-med undergraduate student, being a part of WIM has shown and given me hope of being my authentic self as a woman in medicine.

For a long time, I thought I would have to compromise myself and my personal goals to achieve my dreams of being an OBGYN.

A consistent narrative I was told was that I would have to negotiate on having a relationship, kids, hobbies, etc. However, this organization has shown me that I can be a successful mother, dancer, friend, and more while being a woman in medicine.

Being a woman in medicine means bringing your authentic self because that is your most valuable asset to the field’s future.”

“I first discovered the Women in Medicine by scrolling on my Twitter feed over 3 years ago during my second year of medical school.

Looking back, I had no understanding of the impact this organization would have over the years that followed. WIM was one of the first spaces in which I felt I could be my authentic self while feeling seen, valued, and heard in both of my roles - a woman in our society and a physician-to-be. “

“Serving as the student lead of the Women in Medicine Abstracts/Scientific Subcommittee for the past 3 years has been a transformative experience, allowing me to collaborate with and learn from incredible women in medicine, both seasoned professionals and inspiring peers.”

“I was an attendee last year for the first time and found it to be one of the most inspirational professional society meetings I had attended. I found a group of other women who shared common experiences and I also took away many practical solutions to challenges I was facing in the workplace.”

“This event is absolutely phenomenal, and the work that Dr. Jain and her team have put on year after year to build this community with impact and learnings and connection has just been phenomenal.”

“I decided to join the women in medicine laboratory leadership because I really wanted to promote women in medicine as a male in medicine. I have seen the difference in gender that exists in our profession and I want to decrease that gap.”

“I think that the recent pandemic has made this time of connection and strengthening as women in medicine more important than ever.”
