Mission
The Program for Women in Internal Medicine at Duke, guided by principles of diversity and equity, aims to support, unite, inspire, and empower women faculty and trainees to achieve their highest potential in scholarship, leadership, and well-being, and thereby serves to strengthen the Department of Medicine as a whole. We specifically seek to nurture and improve the experience of women faculty and trainees in three core domains: (1) Networking and Wellbeing, (2) Scholarship and Leadership, and (3) Equity, Diversity, Inclusion. Specific efforts within these domains include:
Networking and Wellbeing
- Community building
- Expanding mentorship across divisions
- Improving work culture, including civility, psychological safety, and wellbeing
Scholarship and Leadership
- Connecting faculty to career development skills and resources
- Keeping faculty up to date on promotions expectations
Equity and Diversity
- Assessing equity of opportunity in regard to salary, promotion, leadership attainment, recognition and awards
- Prevention and management of sexual harassment and gender discrimination at work
- Ensuring diversity, intersectionality, anti-racism in all policies
