Fixing the Gender Leadership Gap in Academic Medicine: The Equality Can't Wait Challenge

Center for Women in Academic Medicine and Science

We are honored to be partnering with the Center for Women in Academic Medicine and Science (CWAMS) for a grant proposal that has been submitted to Pivotal Venture's Equality Can't Wait Challenge. The proposal offers solutions for fixing the gender leadership gap in academic medicine. The Equality Can't Wait Challenge will award $40 million to help expand women’s power and influence in the United States by 2030.

We're excited to work with CWAMS and our other partner organizations, American Medical Women's Association (AMWA), Council of Medical Speciality Societies (CMSS) and National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity (NCFDD), to tackle the culture change required for gender equity.

ELAM is a core program of the Institute for Women's Health and Leadership at Drexel University College of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pa. The Institute continues the legacy of advancing women in medicine that began in 1850 with the founding of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania, the nation's first women's medical school and a predecessor of today's Drexel University College of Medicine.
