CommUNITYten: The Big Ten Academic Alliance Women in Medicine and Biomedical Science Conference

CommUNITYten aims to unite women-identifying and marginalized or minoritized gender participants, as well as advocates and allies of any gender in the medical, health, or biomedical sciences field from the BigTen and relevant industry companies. The conference is open to all to network, share resources, learn and grow professionally, and generate momentum to continue to improve gender equity at their respective institutions. Rutgers Health is one of the event sponsors.

This inaugural conference, hosted this year at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, features engaging workshops (examples include: science communication training from the Alan Alda Center, a partner equity workshop from Kate Mangino); nationally-known speakers on leadership, gender equity, and health professions/sciences; panels of experts (including journal editors, those with experience building advocate/ally programs, and more), networking events, gathering space for faculty of difference, creation of an environmental scan survey across the BTAA peer institutions, mindfulness activities, mini executive coaching sessions, and much more.

Please note: If you require accommodations to participate in this conference or have general accessibility questions, email [email protected]. We will do our best to meet your request. Requests made by close of registration on May 7 will generally allow us to provide seamless access.
