Type: article
Abstract: Opening Statements Women In Medicine® (WIM), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, hosted its annual Summit for the fifth consecutive year, an event where women in medicine and their allies come together. The focus of this summit is to identify barriers women in medicine face and create action plans that can be executed at both the local and national level to address and combat gender inequity in medicine. The summit this year was held in-person (with a virtual option) and took place over two days with a seminar style pre-conference taking place for medical students the day prior. The Women in Medicine Summit this year hosted over 500+ medical professionals, with 6 countries, 34 states, and the District of Columbia being represented. The eight committees were composed of members from 30 different institutions and organizations and 44 faculty speakers from diverse professions led 29 breakout sessions. On social media, the event garnered 55.124 million impressions on Twitter with 632 engagements, 4,731 Tweets, which averages out to an average of 47 Tweets per hour with the WIM Summit hashtag of #WIMStrongerTogether. Moreover, @WIMSummit impressions and engagement numbers had an increase of >300% from the days leading up to the summit. As in the previous years, the Abstracts and Research Committee, led by Dr. Parul Barry, called for abstract submissions with a focus on gender equity from the following research categories: COVID-19, Social/Behavioral Health, Gender Specific Medicine, Global Health, Case Reports, Clinical, and Basic Sciences. Inspirational and Perspective pieces were also considered. The Abstracts and Research Committee then scored the submissions and selected abstracts for poster and abstract presentations at the WIM Summit, all accepted abstracts are published within this document. The Abstracts and Research Committee then selected abstract award winners from the poster and abstract presentations based on the criteria of innovation, approach, future potential, and impact on the field. There were 127 abstracts submitted for consideration this year and 4 were presented as oral presentations and 42 were presented as posters. Additionally, 52 inspirational perspective pieces were accepted.
