"As addressed in the recently published AMWA-Korn Ferry report, Women in Medicine: Setting the Agenda for Change, the COVID pandemic had an enormous impact for women physicians, setting their progress back in many ways," said AMWA President, Theresa Rohr-Kirchgraber, MD, who is Professor of Medicine at AU/UGA Medical Partnership. "We believe women physicians can resurge steadily and meaningfully by prioritizing wellness, developing their skills as empathetic leaders, and collaborating to evolve the culture and practice of medicine."

"At AMWA 2023, we will share strategies for thriving in times of challenge," said AMWA Program Chair Eleanor Chu, MD, who is Associate Professor of Neuroradiology and Fellowship Program Director at UC Irvine Health. "We will delve deeper into innovation and leadership, spotlighting how both can contribute to individual well-being and drive positive change in our healthcare system, care delivery, and expectations for the way we work."
