Women In Medicine® NFP

Women in Medicine® (WIM) empowers women in healthcare through leadership, research, and advocacy. Our initiatives advance gender equity, improve women’s health in the workforce and communities, and fosters systemic change for a more inclusive healthcare environment.

Founded to address the unique challenges and opportunities faced by women in the medical profession, WIM is committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive community for women at all career stages. Through evidence-based research and the advancement of innovative strategies, we work to foster a healthcare environment where equity is at the forefront. Since our inception, WIM has evolved from a small volunteer network of dedicated women and men into a nationally-recognized grassroots organization representing women in healthcare with a powerful collective voice.

WIM supports women from medical students to seasoned professionals by providing them with the tools, resources, and networks essential for navigating a demanding and historically male-dominated field. WIM equips women in medicine through flagship programs such as the annual Women in Medicine Summit™, Speakers Bureau, Research Lab, and a variety of leadership development programs. Unique to WIM, the organization also focuses on the importance of allyship and offers executive learning opportunities for male leaders who want to grow in their work.

WIM’s influence extends beyond individual empowerment. By conducting research on gender disparities and advocating for inclusive policies, WIM actively reshapes the healthcare landscape. WIM champions crucial issues such as pay equity, mental health support, and leadership accessibility, driving systemic change to make the field more equitable for future generations of women in healthcare.
