WIM 2010 Conference
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.
Below are a few examples of speakers and topics over the past two years. This is just a small sampling of what is presented at the WIM conference. Keynote speakers, plenary and workshop sessions and small groups are all essential elements of the Women In Medicine experience.
