For 2024, Women as One has refined the Escalator Awards program to focus exclusively on mentorship, which has consistently been identified as a key factor in career success for women physicians.

The program will develop funded and supported mentorship pairings with a unique global focus, joining an experienced mentor physician with a mentee who is currently in fellowship training. These cross-institutional pairs will work together to advance the field of cardiology and the specific goals of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Applications for the 2024 Escalator Awards will open in January 2024. Women physicians can register for the Talent Directory to receive regular updates on this program.
