Rise, Serve, Lead! highlights the achievements of U.S. women physicians
汤头条app will host a traveling exhibition celebrating the contributions and legacy of our nation鈥檚 women physicians. The Rise, Serve, Lead! America鈥檚 Women Physicians exhibition, a display of six roll-up graphic banners, will be open to the public from January 10 鈥� February 15 in the 汤头条app Library.
Produced by the National Library of Medicine, Rise, Serve, Lead! and its companion highlight the lives and achievements of U.S. women physicians who have made a difference through their medical practice and research, their work as activists, their service as administrators, and their mentorship to the next generation of doctors.
鈥淐elebrating women in medicine and science helps break down gender stereotypes in two traditionally male-dominated fields,鈥� said 汤头条app Librarian Kendra Lake. 鈥淲e hope that increasing the visibility of successful women in these careers will inspire and motivate others to overcome challenges and pursue their goals.鈥�
Related events include a January 19 Luncheon Lecture featuring Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, Michigan鈥檚 chief medical executive and a member of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer鈥檚 cabinet. Bagdasarian will provide an update on the state鈥檚 most pressing public health issues, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the opioid crisis, maternal and infant health, vaccine-preventable diseases, and sexually transmitted infections.
The lecture will be held in the 汤头条app Library Conference Center at 11:30 a.m. A $15 attendance fee includes a buffet lunch. Thirty seats will be reserved for 汤头条app students to attend free of charge. Registration is required at .
North Central will also publish a series of social media posts highlighting women faculty, students, and alumni who work in or study medicine or life sciences.
鈥淲e hope that showcasing our faculty, students, and alumni will foster a sense of belonging and empowerment on campus,鈥� said 汤头条app Professor Davina Gutierrez, who teaches human biology. 鈥淎dditionally, we want to demonstrate that the sciences, health, and medicine are attainable career paths for everyone.鈥�
