LEADERS EMPOWERING THE ADVANCEMENT OF DIVERSITY IN EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND SCIENCE IN THE HEALTH OF WOMEN
The steering committee for LEADERS is an established and esteemed group of colleagues in the field of women’s health and sex differences. Each of them brings critical expertise and dedication to our mission of elevating more leaders to positions of influence, bolstering the future workforce of women in medicine, and effecting positive change in health care nationally.
By increasing Endowed Chairs and Professorships in Women's Health in Internal Medicine and related disciplines, we aim to advance the understanding of the health of women beyond the reproductive system, including all conditions that are unique to women, more prevalent in women, or more consequential in women, and which focus on sex as a biological variable and gender influences on health and disease. Our mission is to:
• Investigate - we support prioritizing and funding investigation towards the health of women beyond the reproductive system
• Educate - we promote and provide education and mentorship to trainees, healthcare professionals and the public pertinent to the health of women
• Advocate - we advance women’s health research and health equitable policy at all levels to improve the health of women
The Leaders Empowering the Advancement of Diversity in Education, Research, and Science (LEADERS) Committee seeks to reduce gender disparities that persist in health care by increasing the number of endowed chairs in women’s health across all fields of academic internal medicine and related disciplines.
By advancing women in academic leadership through endowed chair positions, we will simultaneously advance crucial research, education and clinical initiatives in the health of women.
