Women in Medicine and Science (WIMS) events are intended to enhance and support programs already in place within the Schools of Medicine, Nursing and Allied Health. All are established to help strengthen our membership and enable them to enjoy successful and satisfied careers in academic medicine.

All events are planned by the Program Planning Committee with direction from the Executive Council. Feedback, suggestions and comments from our membership help guide the type of programs and events established.

Find people who will challenge you, believe in you and inspire you to improve. No matter what's going on in your life, another person can help you shoot higher, laugh louder and look forward to tomorrow much more than if you go it alone. ~Vicki Hitzges
