FOR PHYSICIANS
Providing opportunities for clinical, research and leadership development
We’re here to support and elevate women in cardiology. Through carefully curated opportunities, both in person and online, we will catalyze a more equitable medical workforce. Discover our range of opportunities designed specifically for women to develop their medical careers and address the gender gap within cardiology. Women can register in The Pulse to gain full access to all of the opportunities we provide.
We offer a range of programs, events, and awards designed to support women in cardiology at every stage of their careers. From clinical skills and professional development to recognition and financial support, our initiatives address the barriers women face, help expand access to opportunities, and elevate women as leaders in research and clinical practice
RISE
Launched in 2023, RISE is an annual in-person conference developed to provide a unique forum for professional development training for women in cardiology. RISE offers participants an opportunity to build non-clinical skills critical to career advancement.
CLIMB Clinical Skills Training
CLIMB Clinical is our advanced procedural skills training program. Since its inception in 2020, women physicians from over 60 countries have participated in this virtual program, accessing case-based learning in a small-group format led by subject-matter experts.
Awards
Our Awards recognize highly qualified women physicians who are taking action to improve patient care in their specialty. These awards offer targeted funding, mentorship, and networking opportunities. By providing support and visibility to talented women physicians, we hope to develop a more equitable healthcare workforce.
Opening Pathways in Cardiology
This global initiative is designed to transform who enters, advances in, and ultimately leads the field of cardiovascular medicine. This program creates early exposure, hands-on learning, mentorship, and community for young women, particularly those from underrepresented and non-traditional backgrounds—long before career trajectories are set.
Radiation safety
Radiation exposure is consistently cited as a barrier that dissuades women from entering specific medical subspecialties. We promote radiation safety in the workplace through resources highlighting proper training, protective equipment, and policies essential to the modern workforce.
Resources
A curated collection of practical, research-based resources designed to support women physicians at every stage of their career. From mentorship and leadership development to insights on work-life transitions and professional growth, these resources are built to help you navigate challenges, access opportunities, and strengthen your impact in medicine. Explore what is available and find the support most relevant to your next step.
Joint events
We collaborate with international organizations to create and promote exclusive partnership events throughout the year. Ranging from live events at conferences, to online live and pre-recorded webinars we curate events for the Women As One global community that strengthen skills, build meaningful connections and develops relationships worldwide.

A few words from our community
Women As One provided me with the opportunity to be more visible and connected with other colleagues worldwide… working closely with Women As One has allowed me to be included in panels and faculty in very important meetings such as TCT, PCR and SOLACI. I have recommended Women As One to all my colleagues from Latin America

I’m deeply grateful to Women As One and Novo Nordisk for making this vital research possible and for championing women mentoring women in cardiology. Through this award, my mentee and I have been able to highlight critical gaps in care for patients with health-related social needs-insights that are helping guide the path towards access to life-saving cardiovascular care for all.
