Since 1990, over 50 KUMC SOM women faculty members have attended the AAMC Early and Mid-Career Women Faculty Professional Development Seminars. Many of these women have become leaders in their fields and strong advocates for WIMS. See List of Previous Attendees
WIMS has a renewed commitment to support four SOM women faculty per year who wish to attend these seminars. They are committed to supporting women faculty in approaching their chairs or center/division directors for support. WIMS intent is to send one basic scientist and one clinical faculty member to each of the AAMC Early and Mid-Career Women Faculty Professional Development Seminars per year.

Support for the KU Women in Medicine and Science (WIMS) organization comes from the KU School of Medicine state budget and the Joy McCann Professorship. Both budgets a limited in what they can provided. To maintain a beneficial and fully supportive series of programs for 250-300 women faculty members in the School of Medicine, plus expand into programs for our colleagues in the Schools of Nursing and Allied Health, plus the young woman residents, fellows, post-docs and medical students funding for infra-structure as well as programs is sorely needed.
The only way our Organization will survive in this current economy is through the support of those who believe in our mission. No contribution is too small and all contributions are greatly appreciated. .
