Welcome to Women in Medicine Month 2022!
Women in Medicine Month is a celebration of women in medicine and a catalyst for our collective work towards equity. The Department of Medicine supports all women —cisgender and transgender alike—and we are inspired by them. As part of Inclusion 2022, we’re featuring speakers and events all month to honor, celebrate and learn from women in medicine. You will also see “takeovers” of our newsletter, themed Zoom backgrounds, and we’ll be highlighting a woman every (week)day of September on our social media feeds.
I look forward to celebrating with you.
