It is a place to advocate for change in improving inequalities in healthcare. It also is a place to provide mentorship to the next generation of women in medicine.
This book is a compilation of inspiring memoirs written by women doctors. The stories highlight the obstacles many of us faced while training or practicing medicine.
It also discusses the various issues unique to women in medicine from being a pregnant physician to family life to sexual assault and racial and gender biases.
From our book launch in May of 2018, we started to see that the discussion needed to continue beyond the book and that is why we launched our website. Our goal is to continue the discussion and build a movement to bring about change while providing mentorship to women in healthcare.
The HerWhiteCoats.com website is the voice of women in medicine. It is a forum for women in healthcare to discuss the issues that face us as a group.
