Women in Medicine

“It is not easy to be a pioneer – but oh, it is fascinating!”

-Elizabeth Blackwell

First Woman to Earn an MD in America

At the Columbus Medical Association, we know how important it is for physicians to cultivate hobbies and community outside of work. So, as an additional benefit of CMA membership, we have various community groups available for our physicians to join. This week we are focusing on our Women in Medicine community that aims to connect and share stories unique to women navigating a career in medicine

In this group, women physicians meet to discuss topics such as stress management, personal/professional fulfillment, work/home life balance, self-care, burnout, and so much more. See below to learn more or click the button below to join today!

Join the CMA's Women in Medicine Community Today! 

At the CMA, we have amazing women physician members! In addition to their practice of medicine, they are mothers, leaders, and trailblazers. These fantastic women have valuable experiences to share and there are local medical students who want to absorb this knowledge as they embark on their future in medicine.

So, we developed the CMA Women in Medicine Mentorship Program. If you’re a woman physician, you can sign up to be matched with a student mentee. If you’re a medical student, you can sign up to be matched with a physician mentor.

Through these one-on-one interactions (in a style you agree upon with your mentee/mentor) you’ll be improving the future of women in medicine, so sign up today!
