Why The Speakers Bureau Was Created
On a mission to close the gender gap in healthcare, the Women in Medicine Speakers Bureau embodies an evolution of empowerment for women in the field.
Through education and support WIM has created a space where one is able to learn how to strategically combat the inequitable treatment of women in medicine, and armed those who engage with the WIM platform with tools to change the system within their own organization or institution.
One of my highlights from last year in attending the conference was actually meeting the phycologist Pauline Clance, Ph.D., ABPP behind the term ‘Impostor Syndrome’. I got to listen to her speak, I got to meet her, and I got to exchange anecdotes with her – which was incredible.
