Empowering #WomeninMedicine requires both mentorship and sponsorship, as well as knowing difference between them. #Mentorship helps guide, while #Sponsorship actively opens doors and advocates for career advancement. In a time when DEI initiatives are under attack, ensuring equitable opportunities for diverse voices is more critical than ever. In the Pulmonology Advisor article entitled “Women in Medicine: Sponsorship Is Vital for Addressing Historic Inequalities” by Jayne Jacova Feld, MA, our Founder and Chair of the Board, Dr. Shikha Jain, shared her insights in a powerful interview about how sponsorship can break barriers and transform careers in the medical field. Check out the full article to dive deeper into how we can all play a role in addressing these inequalities. #WomenInMedicine #WIMStrongerTogether
