Women Faculty Day
This year's theme is "Empowered to Thrive: Well-Being for Women in Academic Medicine". Our 2026 program will include hearing from Dr. Susan Reed, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, on recent reproductive healthcare research, community building circles facilitated in collaboration with the Office of Healthcare Equity, as well as other interactive sessions designed to cultivate both individual and communal well-being. More information on the day's activities and a full agenda for Women Faculty Day will be shared soon. We encourage community members to register now!
Women Faculty Day is open to all. It is a time to celebrate the accomplishments of our School of Medicine faculty who identify as women and to promote equity and inclusion in our work environments.
