Forging Ahead: Overcoming Barriers to Career Success and Wellbeing as Women and URM in Transplant
This session will feature a keynote speech, panel discussion and moderated Q&A addressing barriers and facilitators in the ascent to academic and professional leadership as women and underrepresented minorities in transplant. This empowering session will include shared experiences and strategies for navigating macro and micro aggressions. Together with audience participation, we will discuss tools at the individual and programmatic level for overcoming these barriers as we strive to advance our careers and to promote diversity and inclusion in our respective workplace and professional societies.
Following the session, there will be a networking reception to foster ongoing networking and small round table conversations, including wine and light appetizers. To enhance the networking experience, AST Women’s Health Community of Practice (WHCOP) and Women in Transplantation (WIT – an Initiative of The Transplantation Society (TTS)) members will be available to foster ongoing small group conversions, to further the session discussion during this networking reception.
