Who
This event is intended to inspire female high school juniors and seniors with an interest in science, research, or medicine to consider the exciting field of Cardiology.
When
This event will stream live on Saturday, February 27, 2021, from 10:30 am-1:00 pm (EST).
Background
Cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer of all Americans, and we need bright, talented, and motivated young minds to join us in addressing this issue for future generations. Our research shows that while ~50% of medical students are female, only a small fraction of these women chooses to specialize in Cardiology. The MidWest Women in Cardiology Alliance wants to show you what life is like as a female cardiologist in the hopes that one day you, too, will #ChooseCardiology.
