Women As One actively develops resources and publications that aim to assist women in their careers and illuminate opportunities to improve the field of cardiology. Working with global experts and partner organizations, we produce high-quality information that advances gender equity in medicine and showcases the individual talents of our community.
Since our inception, Women As One has worked to identify barriers to advancing gender equity in medicine and develop digital resources to support the dissolution of those barriers. Below are a few examples of the resources we feel can make a difference in the daily lives of women in cardiology.

A discussion among cardiologist couples to explore how they balance their careers and home to inspire discussion, leadership, and change in support of families in the medical field.
We understand that publishing is important for disseminating information across academic medicine and beyond. Women As One works closely with global cardiovascular experts and professional organizations to identify opportunities to share original viewpoints and research findings related to advancing gender equity in the field. Below are a few examples of this important and ongoing work.

The results of these awards often go on to be published in high-impact journals, elevating the award winners’ professional status and increasing women’s visibility in the field. Below are a few examples of the work produced as a result of the Women As One awards.
