Education program
The LGBTQ+ Section cohosted an educational program with the Resident and Fellow Section (RFS), Underrepresented in Medicine Advocacy Section (UMAS), and Women Physicians Section (WPS) titled “Who Speaks for You When You’re Not in the Room? Sponsorship, Allyship, and Building Inclusive Physician Leadership.”
The program featured a panel discussion with Tom Cooney, MD; Michael Knight, MD; and Warren Ng, MD, MPH; and moderated by Shazia Pathan, MD. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this powerful conversation, which offered practical takeaways and actionable strategies for pursuing sponsorship and advancing inclusive physician leadership.
