00:00So when you think about those women that helped take care of you when you were little, that
00:06were there when you were hurt or afraid, what can you do for them? Imagine that we could
00:12create a different paradigm. So Women in Medicine is about bringing women into the workforce,
00:23helping them to advance and train in the healthcare workforce, lifting them up in
00:29leadership positions in the workforce. We know right now 70% of the workforce in
00:38medicine is women, but yet they only have 25% of the senior leadership. So how do we
00:45balance that out a little bit? Women in Medicine will do that in four ways. One, we will continue
00:52to help provide these opportunities for intense mentorship. Two, we'll help invest in women's
01:00journeys towards advancing their education in medicine so that they can enter the workforce,
01:06advance in the workforce, and become leaders in the workforce. Three, we're going to help
01:12with the thought leadership and the development of the importance and the relevance of moving
01:17women into the workforce as a solution to the global problem. And finally, Women in Medicine
01:24will be conducting research about gender inequities, the barriers to women entering the workforce,
01:30and what some interventions are that could be the most effective. That will help not only them,
01:36but children. That will increase our provider density. That will increase access to the services
01:42that children need. A large body of studies shows that the more gender equity there is in the workforce,
01:51the more health outcome equity there is in the population.
01:57Some of them who had baby girls or little girls said, like, this way I'm going to be able to tell my
02:04girl when she grows up that she can become a doctor, that she can be a psychologist, that she can be a nurse.
02:10That's where Women in Medicine is right now, this powerful place of designing what are the most impactful programs
02:17and initiatives and interventions that we can design to help women become empowered and step into their power.
