Committee on Women in Nuclear Medicine

Chairperson's Message

 

Welcome to Women in Nuclear Medicine!

The Women in Nuclear Medicine committee was founded in 2014 to promote the advancement of women physicians, scientists, and technologists in nuclear medicine. We support women in our professions by providing a community that acknowledges the unique issues that impact women, holding special programming at the Annual and Mid-Winter Meetings including the annual breakfast and CE sessions, contributing to policy statements about issues impacting women, showcasing research impacting women, honoring women's contributions to our field, and more.

As chair of the WINM committee, it is my privilege to help serve as a voice for the women in our professions. I would love your feedback about issues that are important to you, ways in which we can serve you better, and ideas that you have. Please feel free to reach out to me directly: [email protected].

 

Elizabeth Dibble, MD
WINM Committee Chair
