Women in Medicine

Women in Medicine at Columbia (WIM@C) is a resident-led organization that aims to support, inspire, and promote the advancement of women residents in Columbia’s Department of Medicine. The group was founded in 2015 and has grown into a large and dynamic forum for discussion, mentorship, and education. In addition to an executive committee of resident leaders, WIM@C is supported by the residency program leadership, faculty sponsors, and a steering committee of women residents, fellows, and attending physicians across the Columbia Department of Medicine. The group hosts a variety of events throughout the year addressing career development, leadership, gender bias and equity, and work-life balance.

We believe that WIM@C plays an invaluable role in fostering the success of women trainees and by extension, the Department as a whole. We encourage you to ask questions about the experiences of women trainees wherever you visit and especially as you consider making Columbia your residency training community. You can reach out to our executive committee by contacting Gillian Foley at gf2465@cumc.columbia.edu.
