About WIMS
Women in Medicine and Science (WIMS) is a vibrant organization led by faculty, trainees, and students across the UK College of Medicine. Its missions are grounded in networking and mentorship and supported by relevant, focused program planning. A primary goal is facilitating opportunities for career advancement. The major event, held annually on the second Thursday in October, features a nationally-renown visiting professor who delivers lectures and hosts workshops throughout the day.
