Women in RCC Group Coaching

Professional Virtual Group Coaching for Female Physicians

A common theme that has emerged from previous Women in RCC events is the need for effective ways to positively promote YOU inside and outside of your institution regarding leadership, mentorship, speaking, research, publications, and other professional opportunities. Learning from experienced professional coaches in a virtual group setting with a small group of your peers may be an ideal next step in your professional development.

The purpose of this program is to:

Empower early/mid-career-level women physicians to become leaders in their area of medicine
Build leadership skills through structured, online training and virtual programs
Create a space for mentorship opportunities, community and camaraderie

This program is open to participants both in and outside of the U.S.
