The Women in Academic Medicine Committee was established as a standing committee of the School of Medicine in 1993 to address issues of concern that affect women faculty including career advancement, career satisfaction, participation by women on decision-making bodies at OHSU, pay equity, discrimination, and parenting and schedule flexibility issues. All perspectives dedicated to the advancement of women medical and graduate students and residents are sought. Recommendations from the committee are designed to benefit all members of the School of Medicine and the entire OHSU community.
