Supporting Women of WUDA

Empowering women, open to all, strengthening our department.

The Department of Anesthesiology recognizes the incredible value, and the unique and powerful perspective that women bring to our organization. We are committed to championing their personal and professional development, prioritizing their well-being and work-life balance, and fostering a culture of empowerment. 

Supporting Women of WUDA is open to all members in the department—including residents, postdocs, faculty, students, and staff—who want to engage in uplifting, learning from, and supporting the women in our community. Everyone in the department is encouraged to participate, regardless of gender identity, to foster shared growth, understanding, and collaboration.

This group serves as a hub for professional development with a focus on the specific needs of our department. We will host an annual retreat and frequent updates centered around professional development, education, and networking opportunities throughout the year.

If you are interested in getting involved, contact Erin Herrera.
