This year’s theme is The Future of Women in Medicine & Health Care: Our Aptitude and Our Influence.
As health care providers, we are leaders and partners in the journey of health care. We work in our patients’ best interests to make things happen and advocate for change. Women innately bring many of the traits needed for leadership today, and this conference is designed to nurture leadership skills and talent to allow women physicians and other health care professionals to optimize their potential, collaborate, and lead initiatives aimed at improving patient care. This annual event is where our organization offers medical students, residents and physician members and other women in health care at all stages in their careers the opportunity to enhance their clinical expertise, develop their leadership skills, network and celebrate the accomplishments of women.
