Women Physicians Come Together at the MCA |
On June 12, nearly 200 women physicians joined us at the Museum of Contemporary Art for an incredible evening of networking with peers across different clinical, research, and academic areas. The Women in Medicine subcommittee of the Medical Alumni Association Board of Directors proudly hosted the event in partnership with our colleagues at Northwestern Memorial HealthCare. Thank you to all of the attendees who joined us. If you couldn’t make the event but would like to stay connected with fellow women in medicine, join our Women in Medicine: Northwestern University Medical Alumni Association group on Facebook! |
Join Our HOST Program: Registration Now Open |
We enthusiastically invite you to participate in our HOST (Help Our Students Travel) program.
HOST is a vital resource for our 4th-year MD students when they travel for their residency interviews. HOST helps to reduce the significant cost and stress associated with the students’ interviews, and it provides alumni with an enjoyable new way to support Northwestern’s next physicians—the Class of 2020. As an alumni host, you set the parameters. Registration is now open, and it only takes a few minutes. Please join us, and your fellow alumni across the country, by participating in this important program. |
With warm regards,
Rishi Reddy ’97, ’00 MD MAA Board President Emily M. Jones, ’08 MD, ’11 GMER MAA Board Mentoring Committee Chair |
