Leadership Program
GOALS
The Leadership Program of the Office of Women in Medicine and Science (OWIMS) {formerly the Women’s Health Center of Excellence for Research, Leadership Education} focuses on the promotion, retention, and professional career development of women faculty. We work to facilitate the progression of women junior faculty into senior faculty ranks and leadership roles within the institution; to promote gender equity among faculty in academic medicine; and to increase the appointment and retention of women faculty.
