Dear Fellow Women-in-Medicine,
It was wonderful to see over 30 fellow Women-in-Medicine (WiM) colleagues at the October meetup. We were from a multitude of specialties, ages and practice settings. Yet, despite our differences we were reminded we have much in common.
When I’ve asked participants why they made the time to participate at our WiM events, this is what I’ve heard:
- we want to be part of a community that reflects our own life and goals;
- we are looking to give and receive mentorship;
- we want to encourage the community of women physicians to be leaderful;
- we want to 'break out of our shell' and engage and the WiM group is so welcoming
So if you’ve been thinking of attending our events but haven’t made it happen, we’d love to have you join us. There’s no one that understands the ups/downs of being a woman in medicine quite like another woman physician. We are your people!
Let's keep the momentum going! We have several meetups planned for the next few months. Our next is on November 11th as we embrace Autumn by cooking and dining together with the guidance of Local Matters. In December, the popular annual Wine and Cheese tasting will take place. Feel free to bring a spouse, partner, work staff and friends. And in January, our very own Dr. Bonnie Pugh will lead us through Restorative Yoga.
We'd love to see you there! Denee
