AMWA

OUR INITIATIVE

​

The mission of AMWA is to empower women to achieve their professional ambitions within medicine and academic research. We aim to achieve this through holding events and workshops for members to learn new skills, create personal and professional connections through an established mentorship programme and small group meetings to allow members to discuss shared opportunities and challenges. 

We also aim to improve the career trajectory of women by increasing public awareness focusing on topics that are critical to advancing women, such as promoting female leadership; the crucial role male colleagues play in achieving equality in the workplace. Lastly, we hope to shift the paradigm and overturn gender stereotypes through our monthly interview with female doctors, surgeons and academic clinicians, thereby creating a collection of stories to inspire female doctors to lead and achieve their ambitions.
