Message from the Tulane GWIMS Chair
Dr. Kristen Limbach
Welcome to the Group on Women in Medicine and Science (GWIMS) Chapter at Tulane School of Medicine! GWIMS is an accredited AAMC Affinity Group with the mission to advance the full and successful participation of women in all roles of academic medicine.
Tulane’s GWIMS chapter was established in August 2018 with support from the Tulane SOM Dean's Office. It seeks to promote gender equity, recruitment and retention, and career advancement for women in medicine and science by providing a space for dialogue surrounding these issues as well as by creating opportunities for recognition, mentorship, and networking. In addition, the Tulane GWIMS chapter seeks to support the wellness and personal wellbeing of all members of the SOM. We are proud to serve as a resource and provide guidance for search committees, deans, and department chairs to promote faculty recruitment and career advancement practices that are inclusive of women.
We invite you to join us in this mission! Tulane GWIMS is open to ALL students, residents, and faculty interested in promoting and developing clinical and basic science women leaders in medicine and science. Join today!
