September is Women in Medicine Month
The American Medical Association (AMA) is again recognizing September as Women in Medicine Month, and is promoting this year’s theme-“Making Every Moment Count”-as a way to celebrate ways in which women physicians enrich the lives of their patients, their profession and their community. All employees are encouraged to join BWH in honoring the hospital’s outstanding female surgeons, practitioners and scientists who do just that.
In support of Women in Medicine Month, BWH’s Office for Women’s Careers will host “The Impact of Violence and Trauma on Women” on September 17 from 7:30 to 9 a.m. in the Carrie Hall conference room. The lecture will be presented by world-renowned expert Beverley Raphael, MD, chair of two departments of Psychiatry at the Universities of Queensland and Newcastle in Australia.
In addition to organizing Women in Medicine recognition events, the Office of Women’s Careers is busy year-round, providing support for professional development, career planning and mentoring of women clinicians and researchers. Founded in 1998, the Office works to maintain steady recruitment and promotional tracks of women faculty at BWH.
“By working to provide institutional support in the many areas that affect our women faculty doctors, and by providing continual career counseling, we strive to advance the institution with a growing population of engaged, accomplished women faculty,” said Carol C. Nadelson, MD, director of the Office for Women’s Careers.
