Outreach

Sometimes being a woman in medicine can feel isolating. As a part of our mission, we endeavor to connect women in medicine from all corners of medicine and all walks of life. WIMN seeks to promote diversity and create an environment of inclusion.

The principles of this subcommittee are:

To promote recruitment and retention of women within Internal Medicine
To provide shadowing opportunities for undergraduate students interested in careers in medicine
To promote professional equity and inclusion
To stimulate collaboration with external partners
To facilitate community outreach to help empower women
