The American Medical Association’s (AMA) Women Physicians Section (WPS) hosts Women in Medicine Month each September to acknowledge pioneering women, celebrate their accomplishments, and help cultivate future women physicians. AAPM&R is joining the celebration! Within physiatry, there are thousands of female physiatrists leading in their practices and institutions, and impacting the lives of their patients. Throughout the month of September, we’ll be highlighting the brilliant work of our members, and we hope you join us.
The 2018 theme for #WIMmonth is “Celebrating Our Legacy, Embracing Our Future,” and September 6 is the AMA-WPS Women in Medicine Day. Join the celebration—there are lots of ways to participate. Learn how here.
