Women in Medicine committee calls for nominations, posters

The Association of American Medical Colleges Women in Medicine (WIM) committee is soliciting nominations for the annual Women in Medicine Leadership Award and the Women in Medicine Call for Posters for its annual meeting.

The WIM Leadership Awards recognize individual and organizational contributions to advancing women leaders in academic medicine. Any member of the academic medicine community may nominate one individual and/or organization for the award.

The 2009 theme for the Call for Women in Medicine Posters is “Celebrating Women in Medicine and Science: Future Directions.” The WIM coordinating committee invites abstracts describing institutional programs or activities that support the transition of women from trainees to faculty.

The deadline for submissions for both the award and poster is May 21.
