From Mikayla Hyman ’20:
“The American Medical Women’s Association (AMWA) is undertaking a comprehensive project to understand the leaky pipeline of women in medicine. I am working with Mollie Marr, the President-Elect of the National [Medical] Student Division of the AMWA, to understand the leaky pipeline of women on the pre-medical track. We are working together to create a committee that can tackle a literature review and provide input for eventual further studies and recommended interventions.
I am hoping that much of the literature can be reviewed this summer, as the school year can be very busy for people. There are a limited number of spots on the committee, and we will have a preference for members with a background in research (either within classes or outside of classes) and some experience with the social sciences. Those who are underrepresented within the medical field are especially encouraged to apply.
If anyone is interested in possibly being part of the pre-medical committee for this project and working on this project over the summer, please reach out to me at mhyman@middlebury.edu. Or, if anyone knows people at other colleges who might want to be involved in this project, please feel free to forward them this email.
