In a bold stride toward empowering women in health care, Medscape proudly announces its sponsorship of the highly anticipated Women in Medicine Summit, September 13-14, 2024 in Chicago, Illinois. This groundbreaking event aims to be a beacon of inspiration and innovation for women in the medical field nationwide. 

At the heart of Medscape’s commitment stands Stacey Hughes, Executive Director of Learning & Development at Medscape Education. Hughes will captivate the audience with her TED Talk-style plenary session on “Executive Presence and Networking: A Recipe for Success,” during the student pre-conference on September 12, 2024, from 5:15 PM to 6:00 PM CT. Her insights, experience, and coaching are perfectly aligned with the philosophy of “lifting as you rise,” as she supports the professional success of women at the start of their medical careers and sets the stage for their future roles in health care leadership. 

The Women in Medicine Summit is a transformative experience designed to empower attendees through dynamic CME sessions, enlightening meeting workshops, interactive breakouts, invaluable mentorship opportunities, and enriching networking experiences. This comprehensive program aims to equip participants with actionable insights and resources while fostering a supportive community of women leaders. 

Reflecting on Medscape’s pivotal role, Hughes emphasizes, “At Medscape, we are dedicated to fostering the next generation of women in health care. We believe in empowering women to excel in their professional endeavors and have a presence in the field of medicine through mentorship and shared experiences. Through initiatives like the Women in Medicine Summit, we are committed to creating a supportive environment where women thrive and succeed, in and out of their professional lives.” 

The Summit underscores Medscape’s unwavering commitment to advancing gender equity in medicine and nurturing a generation of empowered women healthcare professionals. As health care evolves, Medscape stands at the forefront, championing diversity, inclusion, and excellence in every facet of medical practice.
