Women in Science & Medicine

Mission Statement: Women in Science and Medicine (WISM) seeks to build a supportive community for women physician-scientists at all career stages while advocating for gender equity within the MSTP and larger women-in-science networks at the University of Minnesota and beyond. We organize events focused on community-building through social activities and community outreach, promoting gender-inclusive success in academia, networking with role models in the field, and openly discussing potential career obstacles specific to women physician-scientists, all to drive lasting change and better equip MSTP trainees to navigate these challenges. WISM strives to promote, discuss, and center intersectionality in all events. WISM events are for anyone who wants to see their fellow physician-scientists thrive in academia regardless of gender identity. All are welcome to join WISM events, and all WISM events are designed to offer important insight, skill sets, and/or support
