This annual campaign champions physicians who have offered their time, wisdom, and support to advance women with careers in medicine.
This September, we are highlighting five female physicians who work to make access to health care more equitable and accessible through their work on social media. In addition to the amazing work they do in hospitals and clinics across the country, these physicians use their social media platforms to break down barriers and spread awareness of their specialties and their personal experiences as a physician.
