“Women in Medicine has changed the lives of a countless number of people who have interacted with the nonprofit or the summit in some way or another, and we are truly excited about the continued success of it all,” Shikha Jain, MD, FACP, associate professor of medicine with tenure in the division of hematology/oncology at University of Illinois Cancer Center in Chicago and consulting editor for Healio Women in Oncology, told Healio.
The goal of the nonprofit is not only to provide education — one component of getting more women into leadership — but also to provide more networking opportunities, leadership training and a host of other opportunities, Jain continued.
