Conferences
Women in Medicine (WIM) is an organization started in 1984 as a medical education retreat for
lesbian physicians, their partners and their children. The annual conference provides CME
credits for physicians. Conference also includes non-medical topics of interest to both
physicians and their partners.
Since 1984, many members of the WIM community have organized to provide a conference
that combines high quality medical education with a setting that fosters professional
networking and personal growth for lesbian physicians and their families across the nation,
and around the world.
Historically, WIM conferences alternate annually between east coast and west coast venues.
This allows women from both coasts to have a "local" trip every other year, and gives the
women hosting the event a chance to highlight local talent when selecting speakers and
entertainment. The quality of speakers is consistently high, and the topics covered are broad
and leading edge.
